Start by blanching your broccoli in hot salty water for 1 to 2 minutes

Introduce 1 tablespoon vegetable oil into a ‘wok’,if you don’t own one like me,your nonstick pan will do just fine.

Add in your ginger and garlic and stir until fragrant

Go ahead and add in your beef,ensuring that they all have contact with the pan in order to brown evenly and avoid boiling

keep stirring until evenly browned

Mix well until thick and consistent then serve hot.
