Cut off the broccoli florets and slice them in half. Cook in a pot of boiling water with vinegar for 3 minutes, then place in ice water to cool before straining. Set aside.

Mix together oyster sauce, soy sauce, sugar, black pepper, cornstarch, water, and sesame oil to make the sauce. Set aside.

In a pan, heat some oil and cook the marinated beef strips until they change color and most of the juices are gone, looking slightly brown. Remove from the pan.

In the same pan, sauté garlic and ginger until aromatic, then add the sauce and let it simmer until it thickens. Add back the beef and mix until the sauce coats the beef evenly.

Add in the broccoli and mix well before garnishing with sesame seeds. Serve and enjoy!
