Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound flank steak, thinly sliced against the grain
  • 1 large head of broccoli, cut into florets
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
  • 2 tablespoons oyster sauce (or vegetarian stir-fry sauce)
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (adjust to your spice preference)
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 3 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
  • Cooked white or brown rice, for serving

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, toss the sliced beef with 1 tablespoon of soy sauce and 1 tablespoon of cornstarch. Set aside.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining 3 tablespoons of soy sauce, oyster sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, and red pepper flakes. This is your sauce.
  3. Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the beef in a single layer (work in batches if necessary) and cook until browned, about 1-2 minutes per side. Remove the beef and set it aside.
  4. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil to the skillet. Add the broccoli florets and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until bright green and slightly tender-crisp.
  5. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the broccoli. Cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  6. Return the cooked beef to the skillet. Pour the prepared sauce over the beef and broccoli.
  7. Stir constantly until the sauce thickens and coats everything well, about 1 minute. If you prefer a thicker sauce, mix the remaining 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of cold water and stir into the simmering sauce.
  8. Serve immediately over hot, cooked rice. Enjoy your meal!

Notes

  • For the best texture, slice the beef when it is slightly frozen.
  • Blanching the broccoli briefly in boiling water before stir-frying keeps it very green and tender.
  • Taste your sauce before adding it to the wok; adjust sugar or spice levels to match your preference.
