Tips

Cutting the meat against the grain is what keeps it tender—cutting it with the grain makes it tough, no matter how well it's cooked.

4. Sear the meat6 min

5. Sauté and combine5 min
Sauté the garlic and ginger briefly, return the meat and broccoli to the pan, add the sauce, and stir until it thickens and coats everything.
6. Serve1 min
Drizzle with sesame oil and serve hot.

Substitutions & variations

Don't have oyster sauce? Use a little more soy sauce with an extra pinch of sugar, although the flavor will be flatter and less rich.
Substitute beef broth with water mixed with an extra teaspoon of soy sauce.
