Creating Chinese Beef and Broccoli is simple if you follow these steps:

1. Prepare Ingredients: Gather and prep all your ingredients. Slice the beef thinly against the grain and chop the broccoli into florets.
2. Marinate the Beef: In a mixing bowl, combine the beef slices with 1 tablespoon of soy sauce and 1 tablespoon of cornstarch. Mix well and let it marinate for 10-15 minutes.
3. Heat the Pan: In a large skillet or wok, heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium-high heat.
4. Cook the Beef: Add the marinated beef to the hot pan, spreading it out. Let it sear for about 2-3 minutes until browned but not fully cooked. Remove the beef and set it aside.
5. Sauté Vegetables: In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of vegetable oil. Once hot, add the minced garlic and ginger, sautéing them for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
6. Add Broccoli: Toss in the broccoli florets and stir-fry for about 2-3 minutes until they turn bright green and tender-crisp.
7. Combine Ingredients: Add the beef back into the skillet. Pour in the remaining soy sauce, oyster sauce, and beef broth. Mix everything together.
8. Thicken Sauce: Allow the mixture to cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly. Stir constantly to ensure even cooking.
9. Finish with Sesame Oil: Drizzle the sesame oil over the dish and mix well. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
10. Serve: Remove from heat and serve hot over cooked rice or noodles.

By following these straightforward steps, you’ll create a dish that is not only delicious but also visually appealing.
