Ingredients

  • 1 lb flank steak or sirloin, thinly sliced against the grain
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce (divided)
  • 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
  • 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil (for cooking)
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 3 cups broccoli florets
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • Cooked rice, for serving
  • Optional: sesame seeds and sliced green onions, for garnish

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, combine 1 tablespoon soy sauce and cornstarch. Add beef and marinate for 15 minutes.
  2. Whisk together the remaining soy sauce, oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, sesame oil, and black pepper.
  3. Heat vegetable oil in a skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Stir-fry beef for 2–3 minutes until just browned. Remove and set aside.
  4. In the same pan, sauté garlic and ginger for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  5. Add broccoli and 1/4 cup water. Cover and steam for 2–3 minutes until bright green and slightly tender.
  6. Return beef to the pan, pour in the sauce, and cook for 2–3 more minutes until the sauce thickens.
  7. Serve over rice and garnish with sesame seeds and green onions if desired.

Notes

  • Swap beef with chicken, shrimp, or tofu for variety.
  • Add red pepper flakes or chili sauce for extra heat.
  • Include bell peppers, carrots, or snap peas for more vegetables.
  • Use tamari and gluten-free hoisin/oyster sauce for a gluten-free version.
  • Serve over cauliflower rice for a low-carb alternative.
