1/2 cup soy sauce
2 Tbsp. lemon juice
1 Tbsp. cornstarch
1 Tbsp. firmly packed dark brown sugar
2 cloves garlic, crushed
1 tsp. black pepper
2 Tbsp. vegetable oil divided
2 lb. top sirloin, sliced 1/4" thick

2 medium heads broccoli
1 tsp. grated fresh gingerroot
In a small bowl, combine soy sauce, lemon juice, cornstarch, dark brown sugar, garlic and pepper. Set aside.
Heat 1 Tbsp. vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add beef and stir-fry until almost cooked through, about 2 minutes. Transfer beef to a plate and cover to keep warm.
Heat remaining oil in skillet. Add onion and stir-fry for 5 minutes. Cut broccoli into florets ( should yield about 4 cups) and add to skillet with 1/2 cup water. Bring to a boil, cover, reduce the heat and simmer for 3 minutes.
Return beef to skillet with the soy sauce mixture, add ginger. Bring to a boil and cook, stirring constantly, until sauce thickens, about 2 minutes, serve hot. Can be served with cooked noodles or cooked rice.
