Instructions

U.S. measurements first, metric equivalents in parentheses. Conversions are approximate.

1. **Marinate the Beef:** In a bowl, combine sliced Filet Mignon with 1 tablespoon (15 ml) soy sauce, 1 tablespoon (15 ml) oyster sauce, and cornstarch. Mix well and let it marinate for 15-20 minutes. 
2. **Cook the Broccoli:** Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add broccoli florets and stir-fry for about 3 minutes until bright green and tender-crisp. Remove from skillet and set aside.
3. **Cook the Beef:** In the same skillet, add marinated Filet Mignon and stir-fry for about 2-3 minutes until the beef is browned and cooked through. Add ginger and garlic, and sauté for an additional 30 seconds until fragrant.
4. **Prepare the Sauce:** In a small bowl, mix beef broth, the remaining soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, and sugar. Pour this sauce over the beef in the skillet and bring to a simmer.
5. **Combine and Serve:** Add the cooked broccoli back to the skillet, tossing everything to coat well in the sauce. Cook for another 1-2 minutes. Sprinkle with sesame seeds, if desired, and serve hot over cooked rice.
