Instructions

  1. Step 1: Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a large wok over high heat until shimmering. Add 12 oz thinly sliced flank steak and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until just browned but not fully cooked, then remove and set aside.
  2. Step 2: In the same wok, add 4 minced garlic cloves and 1 tbsp minced fresh ginger, stir-frying for 30 seconds until fragrant but not burned.
  3. Step 3: Add 3 cups broccoli florets and 1/4 cup water to the wok, cover, and steam for 3 minutes until broccoli is tender-crisp.
  4. Step 4: Return the beef to the wok along with 3 tbsp oyster sauce, 2 tbsp soy sauce, and 1 tsp brown sugar. Stir to combine and coat all ingredients.
  5. Step 5: Slowly stir in 1 tsp cornstarch dissolved in 2 tbsp water and cook for 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats the beef and broccoli.
  6. Step 6: Remove from heat and drizzle 1 tsp sesame oil over the stir-fry. Garnish with 2 sliced green onions before serving hot with steamed rice.
