Instructions

Add 1/2 teaspoon of sesame oil to your skillet and heat over medium-high heat.
Once the oil is hot, add your broccoli to the skillet. Season with salt and pepper.
Cook about 3-4 minutes only. You want it to remain tender-crispy and bright green. Remove the broccoli from the skillet.
Add the remaining sesame oil to the skillet. Add the beef to your skillet and season with salt and pepper. Sauté and sear it quickly. Only about 1 minute on each side. Don't cook it very long. It's cut so thinly, it can overcook quickly and it will turn tough.
Remove the beef and set it aside with the broccoli.
Add the onion to the skillet and sauté until softened. Once onion has softened, add the garlic & ginger to the skillet. Sauté briefly, just until fragrant, about 30 seconds to 1 minute.
Add the soy sauce, brown sugar, and hoisin sauce to the skillet. Stir to combine. Turn the heat down to low and allow the sauce to simmer about 5 minutes.
Place your corn starch in a small bowl and add 1 tablespoon of water. Mix until thoroughly combined. Pour the cornstarch slurry into the skillet and stir. Allow it to cook over low heat, stirring frequently until sauce begins to thicken.
Once sauce begins to thicken, add your beef and broccoli back to the skillet. Toss to coat.
We like to serve ours over rice, topped with sesame seeds.

Notes

Be sure to slice your beef very thin. This will allow it to cook quickly and give you the true Chinese Beef and Broccoli flavor.
Don't over cook your beef. It will result in tough, chewy beef. You want it cooked quickly and remain tender.
Don't overcook your broccoli. If you cook it too far, it will end up falling apart in your final dish.
You can substitute sesame oil with whatever oil you prefer. I've also made this with avocado oil.
