Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb flank steak, thinly sliced against the grain
  • 4 cups broccoli florets
  • 2 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp oyster sauce
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp fresh ginger, grated
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • 2 tbsp water
  • 1 tbsp vegetable oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Cooked brown rice or noodles, for serving

  • Instructions

    1. In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, garlic, ginger, cornstarch, and water; set sauce aside.

    2. Season beef slices with salt and pepper.

    3. Heat vegetable oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat.

    4. Add beef in a single layer and sear until browned, about 2 minutes per side; remove beef and set aside.

    5. Add broccoli to the same pan with a splash of water and stir-fry until bright green and crisp-tender, about 3–4 minutes.

    6. Return beef to the pan and pour in the sauce; stir constantly until the sauce thickens and coats the beef and broccoli, about 1–2 minutes.

    7. Remove from heat and serve immediately over brown rice or noodles.
