# Instructions:
01 -
Toss the sliced steak with soy sauce, cornstarch, and 1 tablespoon oil. Let it sit for 10 minutes while you mix the sauce and cut the broccoli.
02 -
In a small bowl, whisk beef broth, oyster sauce, soy sauce, brown sugar, cornstarch, sesame oil, and black pepper until smooth.
03 -
Heat 1 tablespoon neutral oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the steak in one layer and sear for 60-90 seconds per side until browned. Transfer to a plate.
04 -
Add broccoli and 2 tablespoons water to the skillet. Cover and cook for 2-3 minutes until bright green and crisp-tender.
05 -
Uncover the skillet. Add garlic and ginger and stir for 30 seconds until fragrant.
06 -
Pour in the sauce and return the steak with any juices. Toss for 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats the beef and broccoli. Top with green onions and serve with rice if desired.
# Good to know:
01 -
Slice steak across the grain for the most tender texture.
02 -
Cook beef in batches if your skillet is crowded.
03 -
Best served right after cooking while the broccoli is crisp-tender.
