Beef and Broccoli Stir-Fry

Instructions

1. 1In a small bowl, whisk together the 1/4 cup tamari, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, 1 tablespoon cornstarch, and 1 tablespoon sesame oil until the mixture is smooth and fully combined. Set this sauce aside.
2. 2Place a large skillet or wok on a burner. Add the 2 tablespoons vegetable oil to the skillet and heat it over high heat until it shimmers and just begins to smoke, reaching approximately 190°C.
3. 3Carefully add the about 450 g thinly sliced beef sirloin to the hot skillet, spreading it into a single layer if possible. Stir-fry the beef for 3-4 minutes, turning occasionally, until it is fully browned on all sides and no pink remains. Use tongs or a slotted spoon to remove the cooked beef from the skillet and transfer it to a clean plate; set aside.
4. 4Add the 2 cloves minced garlic and 1 teaspoon minced ginger to the skillet. Stir-fry for 30 seconds, stirring constantly, until the aromatics are fragrant but not browned.
5. 5Add the 4 cups broccoli florets to the skillet. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes, tossing frequently, until the florets are bright green and slightly tender-crisp when pierced with a fork.
6. 6Return the cooked about 450 g beef sirloin to the skillet with the broccoli. Pour the prepared sauce mixture over the beef and broccoli. Cook, stirring constantly, for 1-2 minutes, until the sauce thickens to a glossy consistency that coats the back of a spoon.
7. 7Serve the Beef and Broccoli Stir-Fry immediately over 4 cups of cooked rice.
