Instructions

Step 1: In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tbsp oyster sauce, 2 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tsp cornstarch, 1/2 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 3 cups broccoli florets and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until bright green and slightly tender but still crisp. Remove broccoli and set aside.
Step 3: Add remaining 1 tbsp vegetable oil to the pan. Add 12 oz thinly sliced flank steak, 3 minced garlic cloves, and 1 tsp grated ginger, stir-frying for 3-4 minutes until beef is browned and cooked through.
Step 4: Return broccoli to the pan and pour in the prepared sauce. Stir everything together and cook for another 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats the beef and broccoli.
Step 5: Drizzle 1 tsp sesame oil over the stir-fry, toss briefly, and serve hot with steamed rice.
