Pro Tips

• ✓Freeze beef for 20–30 minutes before slicing for paper-thin cuts.
• ✓Blanching broccoli separately keeps it vibrant green and perfectly tender-crisp.
• ✓Use flank steak or skirt steak as an equally lean alternative to sirloin.
• ✓For a thicker sauce, add an extra teaspoon of cornstarch to the sauce mixture.
