Add the bell pepper and cook, stirring frequently, until spotty brown, about 1 1/2 minutes. 5. Clear the center of the skillet; add the garlic and ginger mixture to the clearing and coo, mashing the mixture with a spoon, until fragrant, 15 to 20 seconds, then stir the mixture in to the peppers. Return the beef and broccoli to the skillet and toss to combine. Whisk the sauce to recombine, then add to the skillet; cook, stirring constantly, until sauce is thickened and evenly distributed, about 30 seconds. Transfer to a serving platter, sprinkle with scallions, and serve.
