Instructions

In a small bowl, mix soy sauce, hoisin sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, garlic, ginger, and cornstarch to make the sauce.

Heat olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.

Add steak slices in small batches, searing quickly until just cooked through. Remove and set aside.

Add broccoli to the skillet with a splash of water. Stir-fry until tender-crisp, about 4–5 minutes.

Return the steak to the pan and pour in the sauce. Stir everything together and cook for another 2–3 minutes until the sauce thickens.

Serve immediately or portion into four containers.

Top with shredded carrots, green onions, and sesame seeds before serving.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Meat Slicing Precision 🔪
Slice sirloin against the grain and freeze for 15-20 minutes before cutting to achieve ultra-thin, uniform strips that cook quickly and remain tender.
Cornstarch Coating Magic ✨
Toss sliced beef in cornstarch before cooking to create a light, protective barrier that seals in moisture and creates a beautiful golden-brown exterior when stir-frying.
Broccoli Blanching Technique 💦
Briefly blanch broccoli in boiling salted water for 60 seconds before stir-frying to ensure vibrant color, crisp texture, and reduced cooking time in the final dish.
Sauce Emulsification Trick 🥄
Whisk cornstarch directly into the sauce mixture before adding to the pan to create a perfectly smooth, glossy coating that clings beautifully to the meat and vegetables.
Meal Prep Separation Strategy 📦
Store sauce separately from meat and vegetables during meal prep to prevent soggy textures, and reheat components individually for maximum freshness and quality.
