Instructions

Step 1: Toss 1 lb thinly sliced flank steak with 1 tbsp cornstarch and 1/4 tsp black pepper until evenly coated. Set aside.
Step 2: In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup soy sauce, 2 tbsp oyster sauce, 1/4 cup water, and 1 tsp brown sugar until sugar dissolves.
Step 3: Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a large wok or skillet over high heat until shimmering. Add the beef in a single layer and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until browned but not fully cooked. Remove beef and set aside.
Step 4: Add remaining 1 tbsp vegetable oil to the wok. Toss in 3 cups broccoli florets, 4 minced garlic cloves, and 1 tbsp grated fresh ginger. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until broccoli is bright green and just tender.
Step 5: Return the beef to the wok, pour in the soy sauce mixture, and stir constantly for 2 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats the beef and broccoli.
Step 6: Drizzle 1 tsp sesame oil over the stir-fry, toss briefly, and remove from heat. Serve immediately over steamed rice if desired.
