1Start cooking white rice first so it's ready when the stir fry is done.
2Cover and freeze steak 30 minutes for easier slicing.
3Combine all stir fry sauce ingredients in a bowl, stir well to dissolve the sugar, and set aside.
4Place a large skillet over medium heat and add 1 Tbsp oil.
5Add broccoli florets and sauté 4-5 minutes, partially covered with lid, stirring or tossing several times until broccoli is bright green and crisp-tender then remove from pan.
6Increase heat to high heat and add 1 Tbsp oil.
7Add beef in a single layer and sauté 2 minutes per side or just until cooked through.
8Quickly pull out a piece to test for doneness.
9Add the sauce, reduce heat to medium/low and simmer 3-4 minutes until it will thicken.
10Add broccoli and stir to combine.
11Stir in 1-2 Tbsp water to thin the sauce if desired.
12Serve over white rice.
