03 - 1 tablespoon cornstarch
04 - 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
05 - 1 teaspoon sesame oil

# How-To:

01 - In a medium bowl, combine sliced beef with soy sauce, cornstarch, rice vinegar, and sesame oil. Toss to coat evenly and marinate for 10 minutes.
02 - In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, oyster sauce, honey, ginger, garlic, and broth. Set aside cornstarch slurry separately.
03 - Steam broccoli florets until just tender, approximately 3 to 4 minutes. Rinse under cold water to retain color and set aside.
04 - Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over high heat. Add marinated beef in a single layer and cook 1 to 2 minutes per side until browned. Remove beef and set aside.
05 - Pour sauce mixture into the same pan and bring to a simmer. Stir in the cornstarch slurry and cook for 1 to 2 minutes until thickened.
06 - Return beef to the pan and toss to coat in sauce. Add broccoli, toss to combine, and heat through for 1 minute.
07 - Serve beef and broccoli over bowls of steamed rice. Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds.
