For the Stir-Fry:
1lb flank steak, thinly sliced against the grain
3cups broccoli florets
2 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
For the Sauce:
1/4cup low-sodium soy sauce
2 tablespoons oyster sauce
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1/4cup beef broth or water
1 teaspoon sesame oil
Cooked white rice for serving
Sesame seeds and green onions for garnish (optional)
Instructions
Prepare the Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, oyster sauce, cornstarch, brown sugar, beef broth, and sesame oil. Set aside.
Stir-Fry: Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add broccoli and stir-fry for 3–4 minutes until crisp-tender. Remove from skillet. Add remaining oil, then cook sliced beef for 2–3 minutes without stirring, then stir and cook for another 2 minutes until browned. Add garlic and ginger, cook for 30 seconds. Return broccoli to the pan, pour in the sauce, toss to coat. Stir-fry for 1–2 more minutes until sauce thickens slightly and heated through.
Serve: Serve over rice, garnish with sesame seeds and green onions if desired.
Notes
For a low-carb option, serve over cauliflower rice.
You can also use skirt steak or sirloin if flank steak isn’t available.
Marinate the beef in the sauce for 15–30 minutes for extra flavor.
