Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound flank steak, thinly sliced against the grain
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil, plus more for cooking
- 1 head broccoli, cut into florets
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1/4 cup water or beef broth
- Cooked rice, for serving
Instructions
- In a bowl, toss the sliced flank steak with 1 tablespoon soy sauce and cornstarch. Let it marinate for 10 minutes.
- While the beef marinates, prepare the sauce by whisking together 1/4 cup soy sauce, oyster sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, and water or broth in a small bowl.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the marinated beef in a single layer and cook for 1-2 minutes per side until browned. Remove beef from the skillet and set aside.
- Add a little more oil to the skillet if needed. Add the broccoli florets and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until they are bright green and tender-crisp.
- Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the skillet and cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Pour the prepared sauce into the skillet with the broccoli. Bring to a simmer and cook for 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
- Return the cooked beef to the skillet and toss to coat everything in the sauce. Cook for another minute until the beef is heated through.
- Serve immediately over cooked rice.
Notes
- For a lower-carb option, serve with cauliflower rice.
- Adjust the amount of brown sugar to your preference for sweetness.
- If you don’t have oyster sauce, you can substitute with more soy sauce and a pinch of sugar.
- Ensure your skillet is hot before adding the beef to get a good sear.
