Ingredients
1 pound flank steak or sirloin, thinly sliced against the grain
3 cups broccoli florets
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
1/4 cup soy sauce
2 tablespoons oyster sauce
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1/4 cup beef broth or water
1 tablespoon brown sugar
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
Salt and black pepper to taste
Cooked rice or noodles, for serving
Instructions
In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, oyster sauce, cornstarch, beef broth, and brown sugar. Set aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
Add the sliced beef in a single layer and cook for 2–3 minutes per side until browned. Remove from the pan and set aside.
Add the remaining tablespoon of oil to the pan. Stir in garlic and ginger, sautéing for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add broccoli florets and stir-fry for 3–4 minutes until bright green and slightly tender but still crisp.
Return the cooked beef to the pan and pour the prepared sauce over the mixture.
Stir well and cook for 2–3 minutes until the sauce thickens and evenly coats the beef and broccoli.
Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and black pepper if needed.
Serve hot over rice or noodles.
Notes
Slice the beef thinly against the grain for maximum tenderness.
Avoid overcooking the beef to keep it juicy and tender.
Substitute snow peas, bell peppers, or snap peas for variety.
For a gluten-free option, use tamari and gluten-free oyster sauce.
Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
