Ingredients

• 500 grams beef (sirloin or flank steak)
• 300 grams broccoli florets
• 4 tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
• 2 teaspoons cornstarch
• 1.5 teaspoons ground black pepper
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoon ginger (minced)
• 3 cloves garlic cloves (minced)
• 3 tablespoons water
• 0.5 teaspoons red chili flakes (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Thinly slice the beef into bite-sized strips, cutting against the grain. Toss the beef in a bowl with 2 tablespoons of soy sauce and the cornstarch. Let it marinate for 10 minutes.

Step 2

Cut the broccoli into small, even-sized florets. Steam or blanch the broccoli for 2-3 minutes until bright green but still crisp. Drain and set aside.

Step 3

In a small bowl, mix together the remaining 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, oyster sauce, ground black pepper, and water. Set the sauce aside.

Step 4

Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the marinated beef and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until browned and just cooked through. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.

Step 5

Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to the skillet. Stir in the minced garlic and ginger, cooking for 30 seconds until fragrant. If using, add the red chili flakes for extra heat.

Step 6

Add the cooked broccoli to the skillet, tossing to coat in the fragrant oil, garlic, and ginger.

Step 7

Return the cooked beef to the skillet. Pour in the prepared peppery sauce, stirring to combine all ingredients evenly. Allow the sauce to slightly thicken, about 1-2 minutes.

Step 8

Drizzle the sesame oil over the stir-fry for additional flavor. Give everything a final stir, then remove from heat.

Step 9

Serve the beef and broccoli stir-fry over steamed rice or noodles, garnished with extra ground black pepper if desired.
