Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup soy sauce, 2 tbsp oyster sauce, 1 tbsp brown sugar, 1 tsp cornstarch, and 1/4 cup water until smooth; set aside.
  2. 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 2-3 minutes until just browned. Remove beef from pan and set aside.
  3. Step 3: Add remaining 1 tbsp vegetable oil to the pan. Toss in 3 cups broccoli florets and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until bright green and slightly tender.
  4. Step 4: Stir in 1 tbsp grated fresh ginger and 3 minced garlic cloves, cooking for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  5. Step 5: Return the beef to the pan and pour the prepared sauce over the mixture. Stir continuously for 2 minutes until sauce thickens and coats the beef and broccoli.
  6. Step 6: Drizzle 1 tsp sesame oil and sprinkle 2 sliced green onions, 1/4 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Toss to combine and serve immediately over steamed rice.
