👩🍳 Directions:
1. Prep Your Beef & Broccoli:
Cut your beef into super thin slices. (Tip: If the beef’s a little frozen, it’s way easier to slice!) Cut your broccoli into bite-sized florets. 🥩🥦
2. Make the Sauce:
In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, brown sugar, cornstarch, garlic, ginger, and beef broth until smooth. This sauce is gonna be fire. 🔥
3. Stir-Fry the Beef:
Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large pan or wok over medium-high heat. Add the beef and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until browned. Remove the beef from the pan and set aside. Don’t overcook it! 🥩🔥
4. Stir-Fry the Broccoli:
In the same pan, add another tablespoon of oil. Throw in the broccoli and stir-fry for about 3-5 minutes until tender but still crispy. 🥦
5. Combine It All:
Add the beef back to the pan with the broccoli, then pour in your sauce. Stir everything together and let it cook for another 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats the beef and broccoli perfectly. 💥
6. Serve It Up:
Boom! You’re done. Serve your beef and broccoli over rice or noodles for the ultimate dinner. 🍚🍜
