For the Stir-Fry
▢ 1 lb flank steak or sirloin, thinly sliced against the grain
▢ 3 cups broccoli florets
▢ 2 tablespoons vegetable oil (divided)
▢ 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
▢ 3 garlic cloves, minced
**For the Sauce**
▢ 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
▢ 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
▢ 1 tablespoon brown sugar
▢ 1 teaspoon sesame oil
▢ 1/4 cup beef broth or water
▢ 2 teaspoons cornstarch
**Optional Garnish**

▢ Sliced green onions
Instructions

2. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
3. Add the sliced beef and stir-fry for 2–3 minutes until browned. Remove and set aside.
4. Add the remaining oil to the pan. Stir-fry the garlic and ginger for 30 seconds until fragrant.
5. Add the broccoli and a splash of water. Cover and steam for 2–3 minutes until crisp-tender.

• Don’t overcook the broccoli—you want it crisp-tender.
• Great with jasmine rice or noodles!
