For the Stir-Fry
  1. Warm vegetable oil in a large wok over medium-high heat until shimmering, about 1 minute.
  2. Add beef slices in a single layer and cook without moving for 1–2 minutes on each side until browned.
  3. Push beef to one side, add broccoli florets, then stir-fry 2–3 minutes until bright green and crisp-tender.
  4. Pour the prepared sauce over the beef and broccoli, stir continuously for 1–2 minutes until glossy.
  5. Remove from heat, drizzle sesame oil, toss gently, and let rest one minute before serving.

Notes

Optional: Garnish with sesame seeds and green onions. Make sure to slice beef thinly against the grain for tenderness.
