Instructions

Step 1: In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp oyster sauce, 1/4 cup water, 1 tsp brown sugar, and 1 tsp cornstarch until smooth; set aside.
Step 2: Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over high heat until shimmering. Add 12 oz thinly sliced flank steak and 4 finely minced garlic cloves, stir-frying for 2-3 minutes until the beef is browned but still tender.
Step 3: Add 3 cups broccoli florets and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until broccoli is bright green and just tender-crisp.
Step 4: Pour the sauce mixture over the beef and broccoli; stir constantly for 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats all ingredients. Drizzle 1 tsp sesame oil and sprinkle 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes if using, stirring to combine.
Step 5: Garnish with 2 sliced green onions and serve immediately with steamed white rice if desired.
