-Heat 2 tablespoons of canola oil in a large skillet over high heat. Add the broccoli and stir for about 1 minute. Remove to a plate and set aside.

-Add the meat to the skillet in a single layer (still over hight heat) and cook for about 1 minute-do not stir or move the meat while it is browning. Flip the meat, cook on the other side for about 30 more seconds. and them remove to the plate with the broccoli.

-Pour the sauce into the skillet and bring to a boil, then allow to simmer while whisking until the sauce thickens ( about 1-2 minutes).
