Oriental beef with broccoli is a delicious and satisfying dish that is often found in Chinese restaurants. It is a stir-fry dish that combines meat and vegetables in a savory sauce. This recipe is a healthier version of the classic dish that is easy to make at home. The beef is sliced thin and cooked quickly at high heat to produce a tender and juicy result. The broccoli is blanched for a few minutes to keep it crisp and vibrant before being stir-fried with garlic and ginger. The sauce is made up of soy sauce, rice vinegar, and flour, which adds a thick and rich texture to the dish. A dash of sesame oil on top provides a nutty aroma that enhances the taste of the dish.

Instructions

1.	Mix soy sauce, flour, and rice vinegar in a bowl and set aside.
2.	Season the cube steaks with salt and pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large skillet over high heat until it starts to smoke. Add the steaks and cook for about 1-2 minutes on both sides until browned. Transfer to a plate.
3.	In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of oil. Add minced garlic and ginger and stir-fry until fragrant.
4.	Add broccoli florets and stir-fry for about 2 minutes.
5.	Reduce heat to medium. Add the steak back into the skillet.
6.	Pour in the soy sauce mixture and stir everything to combine. Cook until the sauce has thickened and the steak has cooked through for about 3-5 minutes.
7.	Drizzle sesame oil over the mixture and stir. Serve hot over rice.
