Blanch or steam the broccoli (optional for softer texture):
Steam broccoli for 2–3 minutes until bright green and just tender, or skip this step for crisp-tender stir-fry style
Sear the beef:
Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large stainless steel skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
Add beef in a single layer and sear for 1–2 minutes per side until browned but not fully cooked through. Remove and set aside.
Stir-fry everything:
Add another small splash of oil if needed. Sauté garlic, ginger, and green onions for 30 seconds.
Add broccoli and cook for 1–2 minutes. Return beef to the pan.
Pour in the sauce and stir to coat everything evenly. Cook for 2–3 minutes, until sauce thickens and beef is cooked through.
Serve:
Spoon over steamed rice. Garnish with sesame seeds and extra green onion.
Serve hot, straight from the skillet or wok.
