Instructions

Step 1: In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup soy sauce, 2 tbsp oyster sauce, 1 tbsp cornstarch, 1/4 cup water, and 1 tsp brown sugar 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 beef and set aside.
Step 3: Add the remaining 1 tbsp vegetable oil to the wok. Add 2 tbsp minced fresh ginger and 3 minced garlic cloves, stir-frying for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Step 4: Add 4 cups broccoli florets and stir-fry for 4-5 minutes until bright green and crisp tender.
Step 5: Return the beef to the wok along with the prepared sauce and 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes (if using). Stir everything together and cook for 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats the beef and broccoli evenly.
Step 6: Remove from heat and serve immediately with steamed rice or noodles.
