Instructions

Step 1: In a medium bowl, toss 1 pound thinly sliced flank steak with 1 tbsp cornstarch until evenly coated; set aside.
Step 2: Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a large wok or skillet over high heat until shimmering. Add 4 cups broccoli florets and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until bright green and just tender, then transfer to a plate.
Step 3: Add remaining 1 tbsp vegetable oil to the wok, then add 5 minced garlic cloves and stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Step 4: Add the coated beef slices to the wok and stir-fry for 3-5 minutes until browned and cooked through.
Step 5: In a small bowl, mix 3 tbsp oyster sauce, 2 tbsp soy sauce, 1/4 cup water, 1 tsp brown sugar, and 1/2 tsp ground black pepper.
Step 6: Return broccoli to the wok and pour the sauce mixture over the beef and broccoli. Stir-fry for another 2 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats everything.
Step 7: Drizzle 1 tsp sesame oil over the dish, toss briefly, and serve immediately with steamed rice.
