- 1 pound of flank steak, thinly sliced
- 3 cups of broccoli florets
- 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil
- 3 cloves of garlic, minced

Instructions
Follow these steps for a dish that’s sure to become a family favorite:
- Begin by preparing your ingredients: thinly slice the flank steak and cut the broccoli into bite-sized florets.
- In a small bowl, combine soy sauce, oyster sauce, cornstarch, beef broth, sesame oil, and brown sugar. Stir until smooth and set aside.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the sliced beef and season with salt and pepper. Sauté until browned and cooked through, about 3-4 minutes. Remove the beef and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add the minced garlic and ginger, sautéing for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Add the broccoli florets to the skillet and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until they are bright green and tender-crisp.
- Return the beef to the skillet, pour in the sauce mixture, and toss everything together. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken and coat the beef and broccoli.
- Adjust seasoning with additional salt, pepper, or red pepper flakes, as desired.
As you stir, remember that cooking is as much about feel as it is about technique. Let the aromas envelop you—it’s a sign that everything is coming together beautifully.
