• •1 tablespoon brown sugar
• •1 cup jasmine rice
• •2 cups water
• •Salt and pepper to taste
• •Sesame seeds for garnish (optional)
• •Chopped green onions for garnish (optional)

Instructions

1. 1

   Cook the jasmine rice according to package instructions: rinse the rice and combine it with 2 cups of water in a pot, bring to a boil, then cover and reduce heat to low for about 15 minutes until water is absorbed.

2. 2

   In a bowl, mix together soy sauce, oyster sauce, cornstarch, beef broth, and brown sugar to create the sauce.

3. 3

   Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large pan or wok over medium-high heat. Add the sliced flank steak and stir-fry for about 2-3 minutes until browned. Remove from pan and set aside.

4. 4

   In the same pan, add another tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add minced garlic and ginger, and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

5. 5

   Add broccoli florets and sliced bell pepper to the pan, stir-fry for about 4-5 minutes until vegetables are tender-crisp.

6. 6

   Return the beef to the pan, pour in the sauce, and toss everything together. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats the beef and vegetables.

7. 7

   Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve the stir-fried beef and broccoli over the cooked rice, and garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions if desired.
