Preparation

  2. In the same skillet, add a bit more sesame oil if needed and toss in the broccoli florets. Stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes until they are bright green and crisp-tender.
  3. Return the beef to the pan and stir everything together, allowing the flavors to meld for an additional 1-2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  4. Transfer to a platter and sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds for garnish.
