I'm a Chinese and we never cut beef into this thick strips but we slice it thinly !! To make any meat to be tender by adding some water and corn flour or starch powder when you marinate it for other ingredients for 15 mins. Before you fry it, add in 1 Tablespoon of oil and mix well so that it will not stick together when fry.
Don't chop your broccoli but cut into little florets but with it's little stern attached to it. Boil 4 Tablespoons water in a thick base pot and when it boils, add in some salt and oil and put in all the broccoli florets and cover for 30 seconds and drain. Put in ice water to stop the heat from cooking the broccoli. Keep the water as stock when you fry the beef as you will not loose any of the minerals from the broccoli. Heat oil and fry the ginger slices then add in the chopped garlic, once slt brown add in the beef and broccoli and stock , stir fry and season it with some oyster sauce, Chinese cooking wine and a bit of starch powder mix with some water to thicken the sauce but you must keep on stirring it so that no starch lump is formed. It is a stir fry dish don’t over fry them !!
