1. In a small bowl, toss the sliced beef with cornstarch and 1 tablespoon of soy sauce. Let marinate for 10 minutes.

2. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a wok. Add broccoli and a splash of water. Stir-fry for 2–3 minutes until bright green. Remove and set aside.

3. Add remaining oil and stir-fry beef in batches until browned on both sides.

4. Whisk soy sauce, oyster sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, garlic, ginger, and broth. Pour into wok and simmer for 1–2 minutes.

5. Return broccoli to the wok, toss to coat, and cook for another minute until the sauce thickens.

6. Serve immediately over rice or noodles and garnish with sesame seeds and green onions.

Slice the beef against the grain for tenderness.

Use low-sodium soy sauce to control saltiness.

You can replace beef with chicken or tofu for variation.
