Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb (450g) flank steak, thinly sliced
- 3 cups broccoli florets
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp fresh ginger, grated
- 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
- 2 tbsp oyster sauce
- 1 tbsp brown sugar
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
- 1/4 cup water
- 1 tsp toasted sesame oil
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- Sesame seeds for garnish (optional)
- Cooked white rice, for serving
Instructions
- In a small bowl, mix soy sauce, oyster sauce, brown sugar, cornstarch, and water until smooth. Set aside.
- Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add sliced beef and black pepper; stir-fry until browned and just cooked through, about 3-4 minutes. Remove beef from skillet and set aside.
- Add remaining 1 tablespoon vegetable oil to the skillet. Add garlic and ginger and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Add broccoli florets and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until bright green and crisp-tender.
- Return beef to the skillet and pour in the sauce mixture. Stir well and cook until the sauce thickens and coats the beef and broccoli, about 2-3 minutes.
- Remove from heat and drizzle with toasted sesame oil. Stir to combine.
- Serve immediately over cooked white rice, garnished with sesame seeds if desired.
Notes
For an extra spicy kick, add 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes with the garlic and ginger. You can also substitute flank steak with sirloin or chicken breast.
