Instructions

Step 1: In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup soy sauce, 2 tbsp oyster sauce, 1 tbsp sesame oil, 1 tbsp brown sugar, 1 tsp cornstarch, and 3 tbsp water until smooth; set aside.
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 browned but not fully cooked; remove beef and set aside.
Step 3: Add remaining 1 tbsp vegetable oil to the pan. Add 5 minced garlic cloves and 3 cups broccoli florets; stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until broccoli is bright green and tender-crisp.
Step 4: Return beef to the pan and pour in the prepared sauce. Stir continuously for 2 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats the beef and broccoli evenly.
Step 5: Remove from heat and sprinkle 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds over the dish before serving.
