Ingredients

• 1 lb flank steak or sirloin, thinly sliced against the grain

• 1 tsp fresh ginger, grated
• For the Sauce:
• ¼ cup low-sodium soy sauce
• 2 tbsp oyster sauce
• 1 tbsp brown sugar
• 1 tsp sesame oil
• 1 tsp cornstarch
• ¼ cup water

Directions

1. Prep the sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, oyster sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, cornstarch, and water. Set aside.
2. Blanch broccoli: Boil or steam the broccoli florets for 2–3 minutes until bright green and tender-crisp. Drain and set aside.
3. Sear the beef: Heat oil in a wok or large skillet over high heat. Add sliced beef and stir-fry for 2–3 minutes until browned. Remove and set aside.
4. Sauté aromatics: Add a bit more oil if needed, then sauté garlic and ginger for 30 seconds until fragrant.
5. Combine everything: Return beef to the pan, add the sauce and broccoli. Toss everything together and stir-fry for another 2–3 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats the ingredients.
6. Serve: Serve hot with steamed rice or noodles.
