Instructions

Step 1: In a medium bowl, combine 3 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp oyster sauce, 1 tsp brown sugar, and 1 tsp cornstarch. Add 12 oz thinly sliced flank steak and toss to coat. Let marinate for 10 minutes.
Step 2: Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over high heat until shimmering. Add the marinated beef and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until browned but not fully cooked. Remove beef and set aside.
Step 3: In the same skillet, add 4 minced garlic cloves and 2 tbsp grated fresh ginger. Stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Step 4: Add 3 cups broccoli florets and 1/4 cup water. Cover and steam for 3-4 minutes until broccoli is bright green and tender-crisp.
Step 5: Return the beef to the skillet, drizzle with 1 tsp sesame oil, and stir-fry everything together for 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats the beef and broccoli. Garnish with 2 sliced green onions and serve immediately.
