Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a bowl, toss 1 lb thinly sliced flank steak with 1 tbsp cornstarch until evenly coated. Set aside.
  2. Step 2: In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tbsp soy sauce, 2 tbsp oyster sauce, 1/4 cup water, 1 tsp brown sugar, and 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes.
  3. Step 3: Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a large wok or skillet over high heat. Add the beef strips and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until browned but not fully cooked. Remove beef and set aside.
  4. Step 4: In the same pan, add 1 tbsp minced ginger and 3 minced garlic cloves, stir-frying for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  5. Step 5: Add 4 cups broccoli florets and stir-fry for 4-5 minutes until bright green and crisp-tender.
  6. Step 6: Return beef to the pan along with the soy sauce mixture. Stir well and cook for another 2 minutes until sauce thickens and coats the beef and broccoli.
  7. Step 7: Drizzle 1 tsp sesame oil over the stir-fry, toss gently, then garnish with 2 sliced green onions before serving immediately.
