Ingredients
- 1 lb grass-fed beef thinly sliced
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 1 tbsp olive oil or avocado oil
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1- inch piece ginger grated
- 1/4 cup soy sauce or tamari

- 1 tbsp sesame oil

Instructions
- Prepare the Sauce: In a mixing bowl, whisk together soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, and cornstarch or arrowroot powder (if using). Set aside.
- Cook the Beef: Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add olive oil and swirl to coat. Add the thinly sliced beef and season with salt and pepper. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until the beef is browned. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.
- Stir-Fry Broccoli: In the same skillet, add a bit more oil if needed. Add minced garlic and grated ginger, and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant. Add broccoli florets and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until they are tender-crisp.
- Combine Ingredients: Return the cooked beef to the skillet with the broccoli. Pour the sauce over the beef and broccoli mixture. Add 1/4 cup of water to the skillet and stir everything together, ensuring the sauce evenly coats the beef and broccoli. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly and everything is heated through.
- Serve: Remove from heat and transfer to serving plates. Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions if desired. Serve hot and enjoy!
