Instructions
- Step 1: In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup soy sauce, 2 tbsp oyster sauce, 1 tbsp brown sugar, 1 tbsp cornstarch, and 2 tbsp water 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 3-4 minutes until browned but still tender. Remove beef from the pan and set aside.
- Step 3: Add remaining 1 tbsp vegetable oil to the pan, then add 4 minced garlic cloves and 1 tbsp minced fresh ginger. Stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Step 4: Add 3 cups broccoli florets and stir-fry for 4-5 minutes until bright green and just tender.
- Step 5: Return the beef to the pan along with the prepared sauce mixture. Toss everything together and cook for another 2 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats the beef and broccoli.
- Step 6: Drizzle 1 tsp sesame oil over the stir fry, give a final toss, then remove from heat and serve immediately over steamed rice or noodles.
