Scale
- 1 lb flank steak or sirloin, thinly sliced against the grain
- 4 cups broccoli florets
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil, divided
- 3 cloves garlic, minced

- 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
- 2 tbsp oyster sauce

Instructions
- In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, oyster sauce, brown sugar, cornstarch, and beef broth. Set aside.
- Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add sliced beef and cook until browned, about 3–4 minutes. Remove from skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add remaining oil. Add garlic and ginger, sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Add broccoli and stir-fry for 2–3 minutes. Add a splash of water and cover for 1–2 minutes to steam until just tender.
- Return the beef to the skillet. Pour in the sauce and toss everything together to coat well.
- Cook for another 2–3 minutes until the sauce thickens and everything is heated through.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste. Garnish with sesame seeds and green onions if desired.
- Serve hot over steamed rice or noodles.
Notes
- Slice beef thinly and against the grain for the most tender texture.
- Use fresh or frozen broccoli — just adjust cooking time accordingly.
- Add sliced bell peppers or snap peas for extra color and crunch.
- Great for meal prep and leftovers reheat well.
