Ingredients
Scale
1 pound flank steak, thinly sliced against the grain
1 pound fresh broccoli florets
2 tablespoons soy sauce, divided
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
1/2 cup beef broth
2 tablespoons oyster sauce
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 teaspoon sesame oil
Instructions
In a medium bowl, toss the sliced steak with 1 tablespoon of soy sauce and the cornstarch. Set aside.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the steak and cook until lightly browned, about 2-3 minutes. Remove the steak and set it aside.
Add the broccoli florets to the same skillet. Stir fry for 3-4 minutes until bright green and slightly tender-crisp.
Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the broccoli. Cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
In a small bowl, whisk together the beef broth, remaining 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, oyster sauce, and brown sugar.
Pour the sauce mixture into the skillet with the broccoli. Bring to a simmer, stirring until the sauce thickens slightly.
Return the cooked steak to the skillet. Toss everything together until the beef is coated and heated through, about 1 minute.
Remove from heat and drizzle with sesame oil before serving.
Notes
For a thicker sauce, mix 1 teaspoon of cornstarch with 1 tablespoon of cold water and stir into the simmering sauce.
You can substitute flank steak with sirloin or skirt steak.
Serve immediately over steamed rice for a complete meal.
