3 tablespoons vegetable oil, 2 tablespoons cornstarch, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, 1 pound top sirloin
Transfer the beef strips to the hot skillet and cook, stirring often to prevent sticking, until the meat is lightly brown and no longer pink in the center (about 4-5 minutes). Remove beef from the skillet and set it aside.
Reduce heat to medium and add the remaining tablespoon of oil. To this, add the broccoli florets and garlic. Cook, stirring often, until the broccoli is tender (about 3-4 minutes).
Return beef to the skillet along with the soy sauce and a 1/3-cup of water. Cook, stirring often, until sauce thickens (about 3-4 minutes). Serve over hot cooked basmati rice or cauliflower rice.
