- 5 g fresh ginger finely grated
- 6 g garlic minced
- 120 ml water 1/2 cup, plus a splash for broccoli if needed
- 90 ml less-sodium soy sauce 6 tablespoons
- 36 g light brown sugar 3 packed tablespoons
- 12 g cornstarch 1 1/2 tablespoons
- 0.5 g black pepper 1/4 teaspoon
- 27 g sesame oil 2 tablespoons
Equipment

Instructions
Prepare and cook
- Slice the steak thinly across the grain. Mix ginger, garlic, water, soy sauce, brown sugar, cornstarch, pepper and sesame oil in a bowl until the starch disperses. Have the broccoli ready before heating the pan.
- Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add broccoli and stir-fry 4–5 minutes until bright green and crisp-tender. Add a small splash of water and cover briefly if needed to soften the stems. Transfer broccoli to a bowl.
- Add the remaining tablespoon olive oil. Spread beef in a single layer, working in batches rather than crowding. Cook about 2 minutes per side, until browned and cooked through. Transfer any completed batch to a clean plate.
- Return all beef to the skillet. Stir the sauce again and pour it in. Simmer 3–4 minutes, stirring, until glossy and thickened and the beef is fully cooked; extend time for any thicker strips. Return broccoli and toss until hot and coated.
- Divide into four portions and serve promptly. Rice or noodles are optional sides and are not included in the recipe quantities, nutrition or estimated cost.
