Ingredients
Scale
- 12 oz flank steak, thinly sliced against the grain
- 4 cups broccoli florets
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp oyster sauce
- 1 tsp cornstarch
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1/4 cup beef broth or water
- 1 tsp sugar

Instructions
- In a bowl, combine sliced beef with 1 tbsp soy sauce, cornstarch, and black pepper. Mix and let marinate for 10 minutes.
- Heat 1 tbsp vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over high heat. Add marinated beef and stir-fry until browned and nearly cooked through, about 2-3 minutes. Remove beef and set aside.
