Ingredients

• 12 oz, thinly sliced against the grain flank steak
• 3 cups broccoli florets
• 1 cup, sliced shiitake mushrooms
• 5 cloves, finely minced garlic cloves
• 3 tbsp soy sauce
• 2 tbsp oyster sauce
• 1 tbsp cornstarch
• 1/4 cup water
• 3 tbsp vegetable oil
• 1 tsp sesame oil
• 1/2 tsp ground black pepper
• 1 tsp brown sugar
• 2 stalks, sliced for garnish green onions

Instructions

1. Step 1: In a medium bowl, toss 12 oz thinly sliced flank steak with 1 tbsp cornstarch and 1/2 tsp ground black pepper until evenly coated; set aside.
2. Step 2: Whisk together 3 tbsp soy sauce, 2 tbsp oyster sauce, 1 tsp brown sugar, and 1/4 cup water in a small bowl to create the stir-fry sauce.
3. Step 3: Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a large wok or skillet over high heat until shimmering. Add the coated beef in a single layer and sear for 2 minutes without stirring, then stir-fry for another 1-2 minutes until browned but still tender. Remove beef and set aside.
4. Step 4: Add remaining 1 tbsp vegetable oil to the wok, then add 5 minced garlic cloves and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant but not browned.
5. Step 5: Add 3 cups broccoli florets and 1 cup sliced shiitake mushrooms, stir-frying for 4-5 minutes until broccoli is bright green and slightly tender.
6. Step 6: Return the cooked beef to the wok, pour in the prepared sauce, and toss everything together over medium-high heat for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats all ingredients.
7. Step 7: Drizzle 1 tsp sesame oil over the stir-fry, toss once more, then remove from heat. Garnish with 2 sliced green onions before serving immediately.
