Heat vegetable oil in a pan over medium-high heat until hot.

Add the steak in a single layer and cook for about 2-3 minutes until the bottom is golden brown.

Stir the meat and cook for an additional minute until no longer pink; avoid overcooking to prevent dryness.

Remove the cooked steak from the pan and set aside.

In the same pan, add more oil and sauté onions until translucent.

Add broccoli and cook for about 3 minutes until desired tenderness is reached.

In a separate bowl, whisk together beef stock, soy sauce, minced garlic, minced ginger, brown sugar, and cornstarch to create the sauce.

Once the broccoli is cooked, pour the sauce into the pan and add the cooked steak; mix everything together.

Cook for about 3 minutes to thicken the sauce and combine flavors.
