Ingredients
  

1 lb (450g) beef sirloin, thinly sliced against the grain

2 cups fresh broccoli florets, cut into bite-sized pieces

1 medium onion, thinly sliced

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese

2 tablespoons soy sauce

1 tablespoon oyster sauce (optional for extra umami)

1 tablespoon cornstarch

2 tablespoons vegetable oil (such as canola or grapeseed)

1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil

Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Cooked rice or noodles, for serving

Instructions
 

Marinate the Beef: In a mixing bowl, combine the thinly sliced beef with soy sauce, oyster sauce (if using), cornstarch, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Mix thoroughly to ensure the beef is well-coated. Set aside to marinate for 15 minutes, allowing the flavors to infuse.

    Blanch the Broccoli: As the beef marinates, bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add the broccoli florets and blanch for 2-3 minutes until they turn bright green and are slightly tender yet still crisp. Immediately drain the broccoli and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process. Set aside.

      Stir-Fry the Beef: Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated beef in a single layer without overcrowding the pan (you may need to do this in batches). Let it sear undisturbed for 2-3 minutes. After searing, stir-fry the beef until fully cooked and browned, about another 2 minutes. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside on a plate.

        Sauté the Onion and Garlic: In the same skillet, add the sliced onion. Cook for about 2 minutes until the onion becomes translucent. Then, add the minced garlic and sauté for an additional minute, stirring continuously until fragrant.

          Combine Everything: Return the cooked beef to the skillet and add the blanched broccoli. Drizzle in the toasted sesame oil and gently toss everything together to combine evenly. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and everything to heat through.

            Finish with Cheese: Remove the skillet from the heat. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese generously over the beef and broccoli mixture. Cover the skillet with a lid and let it sit for a few minutes, allowing the cheese to melt into a gooey, delicious layer.

              Serve: Serve the cheesy beef and broccoli stir-fry over a warm bed of cooked rice or noodles. Garnish with sesame seeds or sliced green onions for an extra touch if desired. Enjoy your delightful and cheesy creation!
