Ingredients
Scale

- 3 cups fresh broccoli florets
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 teaspoons sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
Instructions
- Gather all ingredients and chop the broccoli into bite-sized pieces.
- In a bowl, mix soy sauce, garlic, ginger, lemon juice, and cornstarch to create the marinade.
- Place beef slices in the marinade and let sit for at least 15 minutes.
