Instructions

Step 1: In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp oyster sauce, 1 tsp brown sugar, 1 tsp cornstarch, and 1/4 cup water until smooth.
Step 2: Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over high heat until shimmering. Add 12 oz thinly sliced flank steak and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until browned but still tender. Remove beef and set aside.
Step 3: In the same skillet, add 4 minced garlic cloves and 3 cups broccoli florets, stir-frying for 3-4 minutes until broccoli is bright green and just tender.
Step 4: Return the beef to the skillet and pour the sauce mixture over everything. Stir continuously for 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, then remove from heat. Garnish with 2 sliced green onions and serve immediately with steamed rice.
