Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb beef sirloin or flank steak (thinly sliced against the grain)
- 2 cups fresh broccoli florets
- 3 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 tbsp fresh ginger (minced)
- 2 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 tbsp cornstarch

Instructions
- Slice the beef against the grain into thin strips. Chop broccoli into bite-sized pieces, and mince the garlic and ginger.
- Marinate the beef by mixing it with soy sauce, cornstarch, and half of the minced garlic in a bowl for at least 15 minutes.
