If steaming your own rice, start before you do anything else. In a medium bowl mix together the following ingredients: soy sauce (½ cup or alternative), cornstarch (2 TBL), garlic (3 cloves), port (3 TBL), honey (3 TBL), ginger (1 tsp), sesame oil (2 TBL), red pepper flakes (optional), and beef broth (½ cup). Whisk well, set aside.
Trim steak of any excess fat and slice into bit size, thin slices. Cut your broccoli into bite size florets. Heat pan on medium-high heat and drizzle in olive oil. Once pan is hot, carefully place in meat and quick toss/stir fry to brown both sides. About 3-4 minutes.
Add broccoli and keep heat up to stir fry broccoli and finish cooking the meat, 2-3 minutes. Pour in the sauce (whisking first to make sure it's all combined) and stir until thick and glossy.
Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until broccoli is done to your desired taste. Serve immediately over rice or noodles. Garnish with a few shakes of sesame seeds or red pepper flakes if desired.
Notes
Please do not use canned condensed beef broth, this is concentrated with high amounts of sodium compared to boxed beef broths -- this will most likely result in your beef and broccoli being way too salty. If you are sensitive to salt, use less than the recommended amount of soy sauce.
