Ingredients
1 lb flank steak
3 cups broccoli florets
1/4 cup soy sauce
2 tablespoons oyster sauce
2 teaspoons cornstarch (for marinade)
2 teaspoons cornstarch (for sauce)
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon fresh ginger, minced
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon sesame oil
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1/4 cup water (for steaming and sauce)
Instructions
1. Thinly slice the flank steak across the grain. Toss with 1/4 of the soy sauce, 2 teaspoons cornstarch, and sesame oil. Let it marinate for 15 minutes.
2. In a bowl, whisk together the remaining soy sauce, oyster sauce, brown sugar, garlic, ginger, 2 teaspoons cornstarch, and water.
3. Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a large skillet over high heat. Sear the beef in batches until browned, then set aside.
4. In the same skillet, add remaining oil and the broccoli. Stir-fry for 2–3 minutes until bright green. Add a splash of water and cover to steam for 2 minutes.
5. Return the beef to the skillet. Pour in the sauce and stir until everything is well coated and the sauce thickens.
6. Serve immediately over rice or noodles and enjoy!
Notes
Slice your beef thinly across the grain for maximum tenderness.
Don’t overcrowd the pan when searing—cook in batches for a nice sear!
