Ingredients
- 1 lb flank steak, thinly sliced against the grain
- 1 lb broccoli florets
- 2 Tbsp olive oil, divided
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tsp grated fresh ginger
- 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
- 1/4 cup water
- 1 Tbsp packed light brown sugar
- 1 Tbsp cornstarch
- 1 Tbsp oyster sauce
- 1 tsp sesame oil (optional)
Instructions
- In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, water, brown sugar, cornstarch, oyster sauce, and sesame oil (if using). Set aside.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add broccoli and sauté for about 4-5 minutes until tender-crisp. Remove from skillet and set aside.
- Add remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the same skillet. Add beef slices in a single layer and cook for about 2 minutes per side until browned.
- Add garlic and ginger and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Return broccoli to the skillet, pour in the prepared sauce, and toss everything to combine.
- Cook for another 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until the sauce thickens and coats the beef and broccoli evenly.
- Serve hot over rice or noodles if desired.
Notes
- Slice beef thinly against the grain for maximum tenderness.
- Prepping all ingredients ahead helps the stir-fry process go quickly.
- For extra flavor, marinate beef in 1 tablespoon of soy sauce and 1 teaspoon of cornstarch for 15 minutes before cooking.
- Can substitute flank steak with skirt steak or sirloin.
