This dish was so easy to make. And turned out pretty good too. Definitely a must in our monthly menu. :-)

1 teaspoon soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon cornstarch
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

For the sauce:
2 tablespoons oyster sauce
1 tablespoon soy sauce

2. In a separate bowl, combine the ingredients for the sauce and stir well. Set aside.

3. Cook the broccoli in a small pot of boiling, salted water until tender-crisp, about 2 minutes. Drain thoroughly.

4. Apply high heat on a wok or a frying pan then pour-in cooking oil when the pan is really hot.

5. Put-in the beef and stir fry for a minute. Add the garlic and cook/stir for another minute.
