Ingredients

• 500 grams beef sirloin, thinly sliced
• 300 grams broccoli florets
• 4 tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 100 milliliters water
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon ginger, finely grated
• 1 teaspoon brown sugar
• 0.5 teaspoon red chili flakes (optional)
• 2 stalks green onions, sliced for garnish
• 2 cups white or jasmine rice (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, mix together the soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, water, cornstarch, and brown sugar. Stir until the cornstarch dissolves completely, then set the sauce aside.

Step 2

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

Step 3

In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, and sauté for 30 seconds, or until fragrant.

Step 4

Add broccoli florets to the skillet and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes, until the broccoli is bright green and slightly tender. You can add a splash of water and cover the skillet for 1-2 minutes to steam the broccoli, if desired.

Step 5

Return the cooked beef to the skillet along with any juices it released. Pour the prepared sauce over the beef and broccoli, and toss everything together to coat evenly.

Step 6

Cook for another 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens and everything is heated through. If using red chili flakes, stir them in now for an optional spicy kick.

Step 7

Remove the skillet from heat and garnish with sliced green onions. Serve hot over cooked white or jasmine rice, if desired.
