Ingredients
1 tablespoon peanut oil
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 tablespoon Sichuan peppercorns
1 pound beef sirloin, sliced to 1/2-inch-thick strips
4 ounce tender baby broccoli florets, blanched (about 1 1/2 cups)

1 to 2 tablespoons light soy
1 teaspoon dark soy
1/4 cup hot vegetable stock

- Add in the vegetable stock and bring the mixture to a boil. Stir in the cornstarch and water mixture and cook to thicken, about 1 minute. Serve immediately.
