Preparation Steps

• Slice the beef into thin strips against the grain. In a bowl, combine the beef with 1 tablespoon of soy sauce and 1 teaspoon of cornstarch. Let marinate for 10 minutes.
• While the beef marinates, blanch the broccoli in boiling salted water for 2 minutes, then drain and set aside.
• In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining soy sauce, oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, sugar, black pepper, and water or broth. Set aside.
• Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large skillet or wok over high heat. Add the marinated beef and stir-fry for 2–3 minutes until browned but not fully cooked. Remove and set aside.
• Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil to the same pan. Stir in garlic and ginger, cooking for 30 seconds until fragrant.
• Add the blanched broccoli to the pan and stir-fry for 1–2 minutes. Return the beef to the pan.
• Pour the sauce mixture over the beef and broccoli. Toss everything together and cook for another 1–2 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
• Garnish with sliced green onions and serve immediately over steamed rice.
