Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 pound flank steak, thinly sliced against the grain
- 1 large head broccoli, cut into florets
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, minced
- 0.25 cup low-sodium soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
- 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 0.5 cup beef broth or water
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preparation Steps
- In a small bowl, combine soy sauce, oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, cornstarch, beef broth, sugar, and black pepper. Whisk until smooth and set aside.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add broccoli florets and stir-fry for 3–4 minutes until bright green and slightly tender. Remove and set aside.
- Add another tablespoon of oil to the same skillet. Add sliced beef in a single layer and cook for 1–2 minutes per side until browned but not fully cooked. Remove and set aside.
- Add remaining 1 tablespoon oil to the skillet. Add garlic and ginger, stir-frying for 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Return beef and broccoli to the skillet. Pour in the sauce mixture and stir well to combine.
- Cook for 2–3 minutes, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens and coats the beef and broccoli.
- Serve immediately over cooked white rice.
Notes
For best results, slice the beef very thinly against the grain to ensure tenderness. Serve with steamed jasmine or white rice.
