Ingredients

• 1 pound beef sirloin or flank steak
• 4 cups broccoli florets
• 0.25 cup soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch
• 0.75 cup water
• 3 units garlic cloves
• 1 teaspoon ginger
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Slice the beef thinly against the grain into bite-sized strips. Place the beef in a bowl and toss it with 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of cornstarch, and the black pepper. Let it marinate for 15 minutes.

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix together the remaining soy sauce, oyster sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, remaining cornstarch, and water. Stir until the sugar and cornstarch are fully dissolved. Set the sauce aside.

Step 3

Blanch the broccoli florets in a pot of boiling water for 2 minutes, then immediately transfer them to an ice bath to stop the cooking process. Drain and set aside.

Step 4

Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the marinated beef in a single layer and cook for 2-3 minutes per side until browned. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.

Step 5

Add the remaining tablespoon of vegetable oil to the skillet, followed by the minced garlic and ginger. Stir-fry for 30 seconds or until fragrant.

Step 6

Return the beef to the skillet along with the broccoli. Pour the sauce over the ingredients and stir to coat everything evenly.

Step 7

Cook for another 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until the sauce thickens and everything is well combined. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.

Step 8

Serve hot over steamed rice or noodles.
