Ingredients

• 1 pound beef flank steak
• 4 cups broccoli florets
• 0.25 cup soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
• 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
• 1 tablespoon brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 3 tablespoons water
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, minced
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• 1 teaspoon sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Thinly slice the flank steak against the grain into bite-sized strips and set aside.

Step 2

In a small mixing bowl, whisk together soy sauce, oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, brown sugar, cornstarch, and water until smooth to create the sauce.

Step 3

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

Step 4

Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to the skillet. Toss in the minced garlic and ginger, cooking for 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 5

Add the broccoli florets to the skillet and sauté for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are bright green and tender-crisp.

Step 6

Return the cooked beef to the skillet with the broccoli. Pour the prepared sauce over the mixture and stir to coat everything evenly. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens and everything is heated through.

Step 7

Drizzle sesame oil over the dish and give it a final stir.

Step 8

Transfer the beef and broccoli to a serving platter, sprinkle with optional sesame seeds, and serve hot with steamed rice or noodles.
