Ingredients

• 1 pound flank steak
• 4 cups broccoli florets
• 0.25 cup soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon ginger, minced
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch
• 0.25 cup water
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• 0.25 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
• 4 servings cooked white rice or noodles (for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Thinly slice the flank steak into bite-sized strips, cutting against the grain for tenderness.

Step 2

In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, oyster sauce, minced garlic, minced ginger, brown sugar, and red pepper flakes (if using). Set the sauce aside.

Step 3

In another small bowl, dissolve the cornstarch into 1/4 cup of water to create a slurry. Set aside.

Step 4

Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the sliced beef in a single layer and cook for 2-3 minutes per side until browned. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.

Step 5

Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to the same skillet. Add the broccoli florets and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes, or until tender-crisp. If needed, add a splash of water to help steam the broccoli.

Step 6

Reduce the heat to medium and return the cooked beef to the skillet. Pour the prepared sauce over the beef and broccoli, stirring to coat evenly.

Step 7

Stir the cornstarch slurry into the skillet and cook for 1-2 minutes, or until the sauce thickens.

Step 8

Drizzle with sesame oil and toss to combine. Adjust seasoning to taste.

Step 9

Serve the beef and broccoli stir fry over cooked white rice or noodles, and enjoy!
