instructions
    1

    Start by preparing the beef. Slice it against the grain into thin strips and marinate in a mixture of 1 tablespoon soy sauce and 1 tablespoon cornstarch for about 15 minutes.

    2

    While the beef is marinating, chop the broccoli into bite-sized florets, mince the garlic, and grate the ginger.

    3

    In a small bowl, mix the remaining soy sauce and water to create a sauce.

    4

    Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the marinated beef and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until browned and cooked through. Remove the beef from the pan and set aside.

    5

    In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of oil. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, sautéing for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

    6

    Add the broccoli florets to the skillet and stir-fry for 5-6 minutes until they are bright green and tender-crisp.

    7

    Return the beef to the skillet, pour in the prepared sauce, and stir everything together for another 2-3 minutes, letting the sauce thicken slightly.

    8

    Serve hot over steamed rice or noodles.
