Ingredients
  

Beef and Marinade
  • 1 pound flank steak sliced thinly against the grain
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce for marinade
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch for marinade
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil for marinade
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil for marinade
Vegetables
  • 4 cups broccoli florets fresh or frozen
  • 1 medium onion sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 inch ginger fresh, minced
Sauce
  • 1 cup beef broth low sodium
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce for sauce
  • 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons of water
  • 1 teaspoon sugar optional

Method
 

Marinate the Beef
  1. In a bowl, combine the sliced flank steak with soy sauce, cornstarch, vegetable oil, and sesame oil. Mix well and let it marinate for 15 minutes.
Prepare the Sauce
  1. In a separate bowl, mix together the beef broth, soy sauce, oyster sauce, cornstarch mixed with water, and sugar. Set aside.
Stir-Fry the Vegetables
  1. Heat a wok over medium-high heat. Add a tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add the broccoli, onion, garlic, and ginger. Stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes until the broccoli is bright green and tender-crisp. Remove from the wok and set aside.
Cook the Beef
  1. In the same wok, add another tablespoon of oil. Add the marinated beef and stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes until browned and cooked through.
Combine and Serve
  1. Return the vegetables to the wok with the beef. Pour the sauce over the mixture and stir well. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens. Serve hot over rice or noodles.
