• 1 inch Ginger
• 3 tbsp Soy sauce
• 2 tbsp Oyster sauce
• 1 tbsp Brown sugar

• 4 cups Cooked rice

Instructions

1. 1In a medium bowl, whisk together the 3 tablespoons of soy sauce, 2 tablespoons of oyster sauce, 1 tablespoon of brown sugar, 1 tablespoon of cornstarch, and 2 tablespoons of water until the cornstarch is fully dissolved. This is your sauce. Set this bowl aside.
2. 2Prepare your aromatics: peel and mince the 2 cloves of garlic, and peel and mince the 1 inch of ginger.
3. 3Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat, about 400°F (200°C).
4. 4Add the minced 2 cloves of garlic and minced 1 inch of ginger to the hot skillet. Sauté for 1 minute, stirring constantly, until they smell fragrant.
5. 5Add the 1 lb of beef sirloin to the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 4-6 minutes, until the beef is browned on all sides. The internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C).
6. 6Add the 4 cups of broccoli florets to the skillet with the beef. Stir-fry for 3-5 minutes, until the broccoli is bright green and tender-crisp. You want it to still have a slight bite.
7. 7Pour the prepared sauce mixture over the beef and broccoli in the skillet. Stir everything together and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens and coats the beef and broccoli. It should look glossy.
8. 8Serve the beef and broccoli immediately over the 4 cups of cooked rice.
