Ingredients
- 1 lb flank steak, thinly sliced against the grain
- 2 cups fresh broccoli florets
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- ¼ cup low-sodium soy sauce
- 2 tbsp oyster sauce
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil
Instructions
- Prepare the marinade by combining soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, minced garlic, and a pinch of sugar in a bowl. Add the sliced flank steak and marinate for at least 15 minutes.
- Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Cook the marinated beef in batches until browned (about 2-3 minutes per side) but not fully cooked.

- Return reserved cooked beef to the skillet, stirring everything together to coat evenly in sauce; heat through for about another minute.
