Instructions

1
Start cooking white rice first so it's ready when the stir-fry is done. Cover and freeze steak for 30 minutes for easier slicing.
2
Combine all stir-fry sauce ingredients (hot water, soy sauce, brown sugar, cornstarch, black pepper, sesame oil, ginger, and garlic) in a bowl. Stir well to dissolve the sugar and set aside.
3
Place a large skillet over medium heat and add 1 tbsp oil. Add broccoli florets and sauté 4–5 minutes, partially covered with a lid, stirring or tossing several times until broccoli is bright green and crisp-tender. Remove from pan.
4
Increase heat to high and add remaining 1 tbsp oil. Add beef in a single layer and sauté 2 minutes per side or just until cooked through.
5
Add the sauce, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer 3–4 minutes until thickened. Add broccoli and stir to combine. Stir in 1–2 tbsp water to thin the sauce if desired.
6
Serve over white rice and garnish with sesame seeds if desired.
