Ingredients
Scale

- 3 cups fresh broccoli florets
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch (plus additional for thickening)
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
Instructions
- Slice the beef against the grain and mince the garlic. Chop the broccoli into bite-sized pieces.
- Marinate the beef in soy sauce and cornstarch for 15 minutes.
- Heat oil in a skillet; cook marinated beef until browned (3-4 minutes). Set aside.
- In the same skillet, stir-fry garlic and broccoli for about 5 minutes until tender-crisp.
- Return beef to skillet; combine well and add remaining marinade. Stir until heated through.
- Mix cornstarch with water, add to skillet, and stir until sauce thickens (about 1 minute). Serve hot.
Notes
For extra flavor, consider adding bell peppers or snap peas.
Allowing the beef to marinate overnight will enhance tenderness.
Use fresh ingredients for the best taste; avoid frozen options.
