Cut an onion into medium-sized pieces.

Dice or mince three fresh garlic cloves.

Rinse fresh broccoli florets.

Use sirloin or flank steak; today, use two packages of beef already cut into strips.

Marinate the beef with 1 teaspoon of baking soda, 2 teaspoons of minced garlic, 1 teaspoon of minced ginger, 1 teaspoon of sesame oil, 1 tablespoon of dark soy sauce, and 1 tablespoon of low sodium soy sauce.

Add 2 tablespoons of olive oil to the beef and mix well; lay flat to marinate for at least 30 minutes.

For the sauce, combine 1 tablespoon of oyster sauce, 1 teaspoon of sesame oil, 1 teaspoon of minced garlic, 1 teaspoon of sriracha sauce, 2 tablespoons of dark soy sauce, 2 tablespoons of corn starch, and 2 tablespoons of brown sugar in a bowl.

Add 2 cups of beef broth to the sauce mixture and whisk; set aside.

In a large pan, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil and add the marinated beef, spreading it out in an even layer.

Cook the beef for 1 to 2 minutes on each side until browned but slightly pink; season with salt and pepper, then transfer to a plate temporarily.

Wipe the pan clean and add 2 tablespoons of olive oil, then add the fresh broccoli and mix.

Add more olive oil if needed, then add the diced onion.

Add the bell pepper and minced garlic to the pan.

Season with salt and pepper, and stir-fry the veggies for a few minutes until tender with a slight crunch.

Add the sauce to the pan and give it a quick whisk before adding the beef back in along with any accumulated juices.

Let everything sit in the sauce for 2 minutes.

Serve over white rice and optionally add sesame seeds on top.
