Ingredients

• 1 pound Flank steak
• 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 3 cups Broccoli florets
• 3 tablespoons Vegetable oil
• 3 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 cup Fresh orange juice
• 1 teaspoon Orange zest
• 3 tablespoons Brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons Oyster sauce
• 1 tablespoon White vinegar
• 0.5 teaspoons Red pepper flakes (optional)
• 2 stalks Green onions, sliced
• 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds (for garnish)
• 4 cups Cooked white or brown rice (for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Slice the flank steak thinly against the grain into bite-sized strips. In a small bowl, toss the beef with cornstarch and soy sauce until evenly coated. Set aside for 10 minutes to marinate.

Step 2

In a small bowl, whisk together the orange juice, orange zest, brown sugar, oyster sauce, white vinegar, and red pepper flakes (if using). Set the sauce aside.

Step 3

Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the marinated beef in a single layer and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until browned and cooked through. Remove the beef from the skillet and set it aside.

Step 4

In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add the broccoli florets and stir fry for 3-4 minutes until they are tender but still crisp. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds, stirring frequently.

Step 5

Return the cooked beef to the skillet with the broccoli. Pour the prepared orange sauce into the skillet and toss everything together to coat evenly. Cook for 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.

Step 6

Remove from heat and garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds. Serve hot over steamed white or brown rice.
