Ingredients

• 1 pound beef sirloin, thinly sliced

• 1/4 cup soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
• 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1/2 cup beef broth
• 1 teaspoon cornstarch
• 1/4 cup water
• Cooked white rice, for serving

Directions

1. In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, brown sugar, garlic, and ginger. Set aside.
2. In a large skillet or wok, heat vegetable oil over high heat. Add the sliced beef and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until browned. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.
3. In the same skillet, add the broccoli florets and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until they start to soften. Add beef broth and cover the skillet. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the broccoli is tender-crisp.
4. Return the beef to the skillet and pour in the sauce mixture. Stir everything together and let it cook for 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.

6. Remove from heat and serve the beef and broccoli over steamed white rice.
