Instructions

1. Step 1: In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup soy sauce, 2 tbsp oyster sauce, 1 tbsp brown sugar, 1 tsp cornstarch, and 1/4 cup water until smooth. Set aside.
2. Step 2: Heat 1 tbsp vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add 1 lb thinly sliced flank steak and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until browned but not fully cooked. Remove steak from pan and set aside.
3. Step 3: Add remaining 1 tbsp vegetable oil to the pan. Add 4 cups broccoli florets, 2 tsp minced fresh ginger, and 3 minced garlic cloves. Stir-fry for 4-5 minutes until broccoli is bright green and tender-crisp.
