Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb flank steak, thinly sliced
  • 1 lb broccoli, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 5 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tablespoon light soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon mushroom-based oyster sauce
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 cup low-sodium chicken broth
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil (for cooking)
  • Fresh ginger, minced

Instructions

  1. Marinate the flank steak by combining it in a bowl with baking soda, light soy sauce, oyster sauce, cornstarch, and water. Let it rest for at least 15 minutes.
  2. While marinating, prepare the stir-fry sauce by mixing oyster sauce, light and dark soy sauces, apple vinegar, sugar, chicken broth, and cornstarch until smooth.
  3. Blanch the broccoli in boiling salted water for about 2 minutes until bright green and slightly tender; drain and set aside.
  4. Heat vegetable oil in a wok over medium-high heat. Sear the marinated beef in a single layer for about 30 seconds on each side until golden brown; remove from pan.
  5. In the same wok, sauté minced garlic and ginger until fragrant. Add blanched broccoli and cook for about one minute.
  6. Return beef to the wok along with the prepared stir-fry sauce; toss everything together until well-coated and heated through (about 2 minutes).
  7. Finish with a drizzle of toasted sesame oil before serving.
