Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Toss 1 lb thinly sliced flank steak with 1 tbsp cornstarch and 1/2 tsp black pepper until evenly coated.
  2. Step 2: Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a large wok or skillet over high heat. Add the beef and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until browned but slightly pink inside, then remove from wok and set aside.
  3. Step 3: Add 4 cups broccoli florets to the hot wok and stir-fry for 3 minutes until bright green and crisp-tender.
  4. Step 4: In the same wok, add 4 minced garlic cloves and 1 tbsp minced ginger, stir-frying for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  5. Step 5: Mix 1/4 cup soy sauce, 2 tbsp oyster sauce, 1/2 cup water, 1 tbsp sesame oil, and 1/4 tsp CoQ10 powder in a bowl, then pour into the wok. Simmer for 2 minutes until sauce thickens and coats the broccoli.
  6. Step 6: Return the beef to the wok, toss everything together, and cook for another 1-2 minutes until heated through.
  7. Step 7: Garnish with 2 sliced green onions and serve immediately with steamed rice or noodles.
