Ingredients
- 1 pound beef flank steak
- 4 cups broccoli florets
- 0.25 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
- 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 3 tablespoons water
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, minced
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Thinly slice the flank steak against the grain into bite-sized strips and set aside.
Step 2
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together soy sauce, oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, brown sugar, cornstarch, and water until smooth to create the sauce.
Step 3
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the beef slices in a single layer and cook for 2-3 minutes per side until browned. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.
Step 4
Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to the skillet. Toss in the minced garlic and ginger, cooking for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Step 5
Add the broccoli florets to the skillet and sauté for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are bright green and tender-crisp.
Step 6
Return the cooked beef to the skillet with the broccoli. Pour the prepared sauce over the mixture and stir to coat everything evenly. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens and everything is heated through.
Step 7
Drizzle sesame oil over the dish and give it a final stir.
Step 8
Transfer the beef and broccoli to a serving platter, sprinkle with optional sesame seeds, and serve hot with steamed rice or noodles.
