Beef and broccoli! In Guangdong a bit more classic of a combination might be Beef with Gailan, but especially these days beef with broccoli is as classic of a homecooking combination as any.
A fair warning that this ‘6th anniversary’ video can get a little… sassy at parts. Please do not take anything in this video as a critique of any individual creator.

SAUCY STIR FRY
* Broccoli, one small head, ~250g post trimming
* Marinated Beef or Pork from above
* Oil for pre-frying:
If passing through oil in a skillet, ~ cups, or enough to fill a skillet to depth
If ‘pre stir-frying’, 3-4 tbsp
If passing though oil in a wok, ~2 cups, or enough to submerge a skimmer or a spider
* Oil for cooking: 3-4 tbsp
* Garlic, 3 cloves, minced
* Ginger, ~1cm, minced
* Liaojiu, . Shaoxing wine (料酒/绍酒), 1 tbsp
* Soy sauce (生抽), 1 tsp

Water, 5 tbsp
Oyster sauce (蚝油), 1 tbsp
Cornstarch (生粉), 1 tbsp
Sugar, 1 tsp
Salt, 1/8 tsp
MSG (味精), ¼ tsp

Oyster sauce, 1 tsp
Cornstarch, ½ tsp
Sugar, ½ tsp
Salt, 1/8 tsp

* Oil, for sheen, ~1/2 tbsp of the cooking oil
Cut the broccoli into small florets. Blanch for 90 seconds, then strain and rinse with cool water to stop the cooking process.
If passing through oil in a skillet, heat the oil up to 190C, then add in the broccoli. Cook for 45 seconds, flipping a pieces here or there to help cook evenly. Strain, reserving the oil for stir frying.
If doing a simple pre-stir fry, fry the beef (or pork) over a high flame for about 90 seconds, or until it looks obviously cooked.
If passing through oil in a wok, heat the oil up to 165C, then add in the beef. Cook for 30-45 seconds, strain.
If stir-frying in a wok, first longyau: get your wok piping hot, shut off the heat, add in your oil (3-4 tbsp) and give it a swirl to get a non-stick surface. Swap the flame to medium-low and immediately add in the garlic and ginger, fry until fragrant (~30 seconds). Swirl in the wine and give a quick mix.
If stir-frying in a skillet, add in the oil and swap the flame to medium-low. Immediately add in the garlic and the ginger, fry until fragrant (~60 seconds). Swap the flame to high. Scooch the aromatics and the oil to one side of the pan. Add the wine to the other side of the pan and cover. Cook for ~10 seconds covered, jiggling the skillet, then uncover.
Either way, add in the beef and give a brief fry, ~15 seconds. Then swirl in the soy sauce, and after a brief mix add in the broccoli. Swap the flame to medium-low add in the sauce. Once thickened, ~15-30 seconds, heat off and add the oil.
