Tender ribeye strips are seared and combined with crisp broccoli for a vibrant main dish. Broccoli is blanched for a bright color and delicate texture, then reunited in the skillet with sautéed onions, chili crisps, garlic, and a sweet-savory blend of soy, hoisin, brown sugar, and five spice. The finishing touch of chili sesame oil and sherry wine brings added depth, letting each bite burst with umami and gentle heat. Perfect alongside steamed rice for a quick and satisfying meal.
