Equipment

  • Wok/Pan

Ingredients
  

Beef Marinade

  • 2 Ribeye/Striploin steaks cut into strips
  • 1 tbsp corn starch
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1/8 cup pineapple juice top secret ingredient
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp pepper
  • 1/2 onion, sliced thinly
  • 1 tbsp olive oil

Broccoli

  • 2 broccoli crowns cut into pieces and washed
  • 4-5 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/8 cup water

Sauce

  • 1 tbsp corn starch
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar

Instructions
 

Beef Marinade

  • Mix together beef strips, cornstarch, pineapple juice, soy sauce, salt, and pepper together. Marinate for 15 minutes.

Cook the beef

  • Using a wok, heat up 1 tbsp of oil. Add in sliced onions and cook for 2-3 minutes until fragrant. Add in the beef mixture. Cook for 4-5 minutes until the beef is just about cooked through- medium rare. Remove from the pan and set aside.

Cook the broccoli

  • Using the same wok, add in 1 tbsp of oil. Add in garlic and sauté for 2-3 minutes. Carefully add in your broccoli (the oil will splash so have a cover ready). Add in 1/8 cup of water, put the lid on top, and cook for 3-4 minutes. Your broccoli should still be slightly firm.

Add back in beef and sauce

  • Remove lid, add back in your beef. In a separate small bowl, mix together corn starch, soy sauce, and brown sugar- add this mixture into the wok. Carefully mix together.
  • Garnish with scallion and sesame seeds, enjoy!

Notes

Notes: You can substitute beef with firm tofu, chicken, turkey breast.
