Preparation
Blanch the broccoli by bringing a pot of water to boil and adding a pinch of salt. Add broccoli florets (1 cup) and cook for 2-3 minutes, until vibrant green and slightly tender. Drain and set aside.
Sear the beef by heating 1 tsp butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Season the sliced beef (4 oz) with salt and pepper, then sear for 2-3 minutes per side until browned but still tender. Remove from the pan and set aside.
Sauté the aromatics by adding the remaining 1 tsp butter to the same skillet over medium heat. Add red onion (2 Tbsp), leeks (2 Tbsp), garlic (1 clove, minced), and ginger (½ tsp, minced). Sauté for 3-4 minutes, until fragrant and softened.
Make the sauce by stirring in soy sauce (1 Tbsp) and white vinegar (1 tsp) into the skillet with the aromatics.
Let the sauce simmer for 1-2 minutes to meld the flavors.
Combine everything by adding the cooked sliced beef and blanched broccoli back into the skillet. Toss everything together in the ginger-garlic sauce ensuring the beef and broccoli are well coated.
Garnish and serve by sprinkling green onions (1 Tbsp) and sesame seeds (½ tsp) over the dish before serving.
