- Heat large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the 2 Tablespoons of oil then add the diced or sliced onion and garlic. Cook until softened.
- Increase heat to high and add beef. Sear the beef to brown on both sides (doesn't need to be cooked through yet - it will finish cooking with the broccoli).
