Instructions

Step 1: In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tbsp oyster sauce, 2 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tsp brown sugar, 1 tsp cornstarch, and 1/4 cup water until smooth; set aside.
Step 2: Heat 1 tbsp vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over high heat until shimmering. Add 12 oz 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 skillet. Sauté 4 minced garlic cloves and 1 tbsp minced ginger for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Step 4: Add 3 cups broccoli florets and stir-fry for 4-5 minutes until bright green and crisp-tender.
Step 5: Return the beef to the skillet, pour the oyster sauce mixture over, and stir continuously for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens and beef is cooked through. Serve immediately with steamed rice.
