Instructions

Step 1: In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp oyster sauce, 1 tbsp cornstarch, 1/4 cup water, 1 tsp brown sugar, and 1/2 tsp black pepper until smooth. Set aside.
Step 2: Heat 1 tbsp vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over high heat until shimmering. Add 10 oz thinly sliced flank steak and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until browned but not fully cooked. Remove steak and set aside.
Step 3: Add remaining 1 tbsp vegetable oil to the skillet. Add 4 minced garlic cloves and 3 cups broccoli florets. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until broccoli is bright green and tender-crisp.
Step 4: Return steak to the skillet and pour in the prepared sauce. Stir well to combine and cook for 2 more minutes until sauce thickens and coats the beef and broccoli.
Step 5: Drizzle 1 tsp sesame oil over the stir-fry and toss to finish. Serve hot with steamed rice or noodles.
