Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a small bowl, combine 3 tbsp soy sauce, 2 tbsp oyster sauce, 1 tsp brown sugar, 1 tsp cornstarch, and 1/4 cup water. Stir until smooth and set aside.
  2. Step 2: Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a wok or large skillet over high heat until shimmering. Add 1 lb thinly sliced flank steak and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until browned but still tender. Remove beef and set aside.
  3. Step 3: Add remaining 1 tbsp vegetable oil to the same pan. Add 3 cups broccoli florets and stir-fry for 4 minutes until bright green and slightly tender.
  4. Step 4: Stir in 4 minced garlic cloves and 1 tbsp minced fresh ginger, cooking for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  5. Step 5: Return the beef to the pan along with the prepared sauce and 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes if using. Stir continuously for 2 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats the beef and broccoli.
  6. Step 6: Remove from heat and garnish with 2 sliced green onions. Serve immediately over steamed rice or noodles.
