Ingredients
  

1 lb (450g) flank steak, thinly sliced against the grain

2 cups broccoli florets

2 tablespoons vegetable oil

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 inch ginger, grated

1/2 cup low-sodium soy sauce

2 tablespoons oyster sauce

1 tablespoon cornstarch

1 tablespoon brown sugar

1/4 cup beef broth or water

1 teaspoon sesame oil

1 tablespoon rice vinegar

1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)

Cooked jasmine rice or noodles for serving

Instructions
 

Marinate the Beef: In a bowl, combine the sliced flank steak with 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of cornstarch, and 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Mix well to coat the beef and let it marinate for 20 minutes while you prepare the other ingredients.

    Prepare the Sauce: In a separate bowl, whisk together the remaining soy sauce, oyster sauce, brown sugar, beef broth (or water), sesame oil, rice vinegar, and crushed red pepper flakes (if using). Set aside.

      Blanch the Broccoli: Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add the broccoli florets and blanch for 2 minutes until bright green and slightly tender. Immediately transfer to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. Drain and set aside.

        Cook the Beef: In a large skillet or wok, heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil over high heat. Once hot, add the marinated beef in a single layer and cook for 2-3 minutes without stirring, allowing it to sear properly. Stir-fry for another minute until it’s cooked through but still tender. Remove the beef from the skillet and set it aside.

          Sauté Aromatics: In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and grated ginger, sautéing for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

            Combine Everything: Return the cooked beef to the skillet along with the blanched broccoli. Pour the prepared sauce over the beef and broccoli mixture, stirring well to combine. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the sauce is thickened and everything is heated through.

              Serve: Remove from heat and serve the beef and broccoli over bowls of steamed jasmine rice or noodles. Enjoy your delicious dish!
