Ingredients
  

  • 1 Lb Flank steak, thinly sliced
  • 3 Cups Broccoli florets
  • 2 Tbsp Vegetable oil
  • 3 Garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 Tsp Fresh ginger, grated
  • 1/4 Cup Soy sauce
  • 1/4 Cup Oyster sauce
  • 2 Tbsp Hoisin sauce
  • 1 Tbsp Cornstarch
  • 1/4 Cup Water
  • 1 Tbsp Sesame oil
  • 2 Green onions, sliced
  • Sesame seeds, for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the Beef and Broccoli:
    Begin by slicing the flank steak thinly against the grain. This ensures tenderness. Set aside.
    Wash and cut the broccoli into small florets.
  • Make the Sauce:
    In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, cornstarch, and water. Set aside.
  • Cook the Beef:
    Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
    Add the sliced beef and cook until browned, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.
  • Cook the Broccoli:
    In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil.
    Add minced garlic and grated ginger, stirring until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
    Add the broccoli florets and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes, until they turn bright green and are tender-crisp.
  • Combine and Cook:
    Return the cooked beef to the skillet.
    Pour the sauce over the beef and broccoli, stirring to coat everything evenly.
    Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens and everything is heated through.
  • Finish and Serve:
    Drizzle sesame oil over the stir fry.
    Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds.Serve hot over steamed rice or noodles.
