Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tbsp soy sauce, 2 tbsp oyster sauce, 1 tsp brown sugar, 1 tsp cornstarch, and 1/4 cup water until smooth. Set aside.
  2. Step 2: Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a large wok or skillet over high heat until shimmering. Add 12 oz thinly sliced flank steak and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until browned but not fully cooked. Remove beef and set aside.
  3. Step 3: In the same wok, add 4 minced garlic cloves and 1 tbsp grated fresh ginger. Stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  4. Step 4: Add 3 cups broccoli florets and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until bright green and slightly tender.
  5. Step 5: Return the beef to the wok along with the sauce mixture and 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes if using. Cook, stirring constantly, for 2 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats the beef and broccoli.
  6. Step 6: Drizzle 1 tsp sesame oil over the stir-fry and toss to combine. Serve immediately with steamed rice if desired.
