Instructions

Step 1: In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup low sodium soy sauce, 2 tbsp oyster sauce, 1 tbsp brown sugar, 1 tbsp cornstarch, and 1/4 cup water until smooth. Set aside.
Step 2: Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a large wok or skillet over high heat until shimmering. Add 1 lb thinly sliced flank steak and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until just browned but not fully cooked. Remove beef and set aside.
Step 3: Add remaining 1 tbsp vegetable oil to the wok. Toss in 3 cups broccoli florets and stir-fry for 4 minutes until bright green and tender-crisp.
Step 4: Add 5 minced garlic cloves and 1 tbsp grated fresh ginger to broccoli. Stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Step 5: Return beef to wok. Pour in the prepared sauce and toss everything together. Cook for 2-3 minutes until sauce thickens and coats beef and broccoli thoroughly.
Step 6: Drizzle 1 tsp sesame oil over the stir-fry and sprinkle with 2 sliced green onions before serving hot.
