Ingredients
For the Sauce
⅓ cup soy sauce or coconut aminos
1 tbsp grated ginger
1 tbsp grated garlic, about 4 cloves
3 tbsp maple syrup
1 tbsp blackstrap molasses
1 tsp sesame oil (toasted or un toasted is fine)
1 tsp rice wine vinegar
2 tbsp corn starch
½ cup hot water
For the Beef and Broccoli
1 lb shaved beef steak (I got mine at Trader Joes, but you can just ask the butcher to do it too)
2 small heads of broccoli, florets separated from the stem
½ medium yellow onion, sliced
Olive oil for cooking
Salt and pep for seasoning
For the Rice
2 cups water
1 cup jasmine rice
For the Assembly
2 sprigs of green onion cut on a bias
Sesame seeds
Chili crisp
Directions
Step 1
First start on your rice. I personally like jasmine rice here, but use any rice that you have and cook it according to the package instructions. However, please make sure you rinse your rice until the water running through is clear! For jasmine I rinse and do 2 cups water to 1 cup rice. You can also double this quantity if you love rice and/or want to stretch this meal farther.
2 cups water
1 cup jasmine rice
Step 2
Make your sauce. You're going to combine the soy sauce, ginger, garlic, maple syrup, molasses, sesame oil, and vinegar. Then add in the corn starch and whisk to combine. Slowly add in the hot water while whisking to further break down the corn starch and help it incorporate. Taste it and add some black pepper if you think it needs it. Set this aside for now.

2 tbsp corn starch
½ cup hot water
Step 3
Heat 2-3 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add in onions and broccoli, season with some salt and pep, and cook for about 5 minutes. You want to stir it frequently during this stage so that evenly gets evenly softened. Then let it cook undisturbed for another 2-3 minutes to get the veg a little bit browned/charred. Remove and set aside.

½ medium yellow onion, sliced
Salt and pep for seasoning
Step 4
Add another 1-2 tbsp of olive oil to the pan and increase the temp to medium-high. Add in the shaved beef and let cook undisturbed for about 2-3 minutes. You want that initial layer to get browned, because browning is flavor!! Then use a spoon or spatula to stir it all around until most of the beef is cooked, but some of the pieces are still a little pink.

Step 5
Add the broccoli and onions back to the pan and mix to combine. Then add in the sauce mixture and lower the temp to medium-low. Stir until the sauce has thickened to your desired consistency; about 2-3 minutes.

Step 6
Assemble with some white rice, the beef and broccoli mixture, and any toppings you like! I did green onions in the video, but sesame seeds and chili crisp are also wonderful additions!
