Ingredients

• •1 lb (450g) flank steak, thinly sliced against the grain
• •3 cups broccoli florets
• •2 tbsp vegetable oil
• •3 cloves garlic, minced
• •1/4 cup oyster sauce
• •2 tbsp soy sauce
• •1 tbsp cornstarch
• •1/2 cup beef broth
• •2 cups cooked rice
• •1 tsp sesame oil (optional)
• •Salt and pepper to taste

1. 1

   In a bowl, mix the beef with cornstarch, soy sauce, and a pinch of salt; let it marinate for 15 minutes.

2. 2

   Heat 1 tbsp of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.

3. 3

   Add the marinated beef to the skillet and stir-fry until browned, about 3-5 minutes. Remove the beef from the pan and set aside.

4. 4

   In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of oil and stir-fry the minced garlic for 30 seconds until fragrant.

5. 5

   Add the broccoli florets to the skillet, and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until they turn bright green and are tender-crisp.

6. 6

   Return the beef to the skillet, add oyster sauce and beef broth, and toss everything together. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until heated through and the sauce thickens slightly.

7. 7

   Drizzle with sesame oil if using, adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed, and serve hot over cooked rice.
