Ingredients

  

• 1 pound flank steak thinly sliced against the grain
• 4 cups broccoli florets
• 3 tablespoons vegetable oil divided
• 3 cloves garlic minced
• 1 teaspoon fresh ginger grated
• 1/4 cup soy sauce
• 1/4 cup oyster sauce
• 1/4 cup beef broth
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 1 tablespoon brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes optional for heat
• Cooked white rice for serving
• Sesame seeds and sliced green onions for garnish

Instructions

 

• Prepare the beef and broccoli: Thinly slice the flank steak against the grain and cut the broccoli into bite-sized florets.
• Make the sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, oyster sauce, beef broth, cornstarch, brown sugar, sesame oil, and red pepper flakes (if using). Set aside.
• Cook the broccoli: In a large skillet or wok, heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the broccoli and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until bright green and slightly tender. Remove the broccoli from the skillet and set aside.
• Cook the beef: In the same skillet, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil over high heat. Add the sliced beef in a single layer and cook for 2-3 minutes, until browned. Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger, and cook for an additional minute.
• Combine and finish: Return the cooked broccoli to the skillet. Pour in the prepared sauce and stir to combine. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the sauce thickens and coats the beef and broccoli evenly.
• Serve: Remove from heat and serve immediately over cooked white rice. Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions.
