Ingredients
  

1 lb flank steak, thinly sliced against the grain

4 cups broccoli florets

3 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated

1/4 cup soy sauce (low sodium)

2 tablespoons oyster sauce

1 tablespoon cornstarch

1 tablespoon brown sugar

1 tablespoon rice vinegar

1/2 teaspoon sesame oil

1/2 cup beef broth

Cooked jasmine rice or noodles, for serving

Sesame seeds and sliced green onions for garnish

Instructions
 

In a bowl, mix the sliced flank steak with 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of cornstarch, and a pinch of black pepper. Let it marinate for 15 minutes.

    Meanwhile, blanch the broccoli florets in boiling water for 2 minutes until bright green. Drain and set aside.

      In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining soy sauce, oyster sauce, brown sugar, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and beef broth. Set aside.

        Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large pan or wok over medium-high heat. Add the marinated beef in a single layer and stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes until browned and just cooked through. Remove the beef from the pan.

          In the same pan, add another tablespoon of oil if needed, and stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger. Sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

            Add the blanched broccoli to the pan along with the sauce mixture. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until the sauce thickens and the broccoli is tender but still crisp.

              Return the beef to the pan, tossing everything together to coat in the sauce thoroughly. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until heated through.

                Serve immediately over jasmine rice or noodles, garnished with sesame seeds and sliced green onions.
