Heat 2 tablespoons of avocado oil in a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated beef in a single layer, working in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding. Sear the beef for approximately 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it is almost fully cooked and browned. Remove the seared beef from the pan and set aside.

To the same pan, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil, along with the remaining 1 tablespoon of minced fresh ginger and 1 tablespoon of minced garlic. Sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant. Add the broccoli florets to the pan. Cover and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the broccoli turns bright green and is tender-crisp.

Pour the prepared sauce over the broccoli in the pan. Bring the sauce to a simmer, stirring constantly. Return the seared beef to the pan, tossing to coat. Cover and let it simmer for another 5-10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the beef to finish cooking through.
