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 tsp 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 browned but not fully cooked. Remove steak from pan and set aside.
Step 3: Add remaining 1 tbsp vegetable oil to the pan. Add 4 minced garlic cloves and 1 tbsp grated fresh ginger, stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Step 4: Add 4 cups broccoli florets and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until bright green and crisp-tender.
Step 5: Return steak to the pan and pour in the prepared sauce along with 1 tsp sesame oil and 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes if using. Stir continuously for 2-3 minutes until sauce thickens and coats beef and broccoli evenly.
Step 6: Remove from heat and serve immediately with steamed rice or noodles.
