Instructions
- Cut the steak into bite-size pieces and place it in a medium bowl. Add all of the marinade ingredients and toss until the beef is evenly coated. Set aside while you prepare the sauce.Note: Do not add the olive oil to the marinade—it is reserved for frying.
- Combine all of your sauce ingredients in a small bowl and whisk well.
- Add the chopped broccoli and water to a large frying pan. Cover and steam over medium heat for 2–4 minutes.Note: For crisp-tender broccoli, steam for about 2 minutes. Steam longer if you prefer it softer.
- Remove the steamed broccoli from the frying pan and set aside. Carefully discard any remaining water, then thoroughly dry the pan before continuing.
- Add your olive oil to the pan and set to medium high heat. Fry your beef on each side for one to two minutes, just until it begins to brown.
- Add the sauce to the beef and stir until evenly coated. Simmer for 3–5 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken.
- Add your broccoli and give it one last mix.
- Garnish with sesame seeds and serve with rice or your preferred side.
