Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Beef flank steak
- 4 cups Broccoli florets
- 0.25 cup Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Oyster sauce
- 1 tablespoon Brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger, grated
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 0.33 cup Water
- 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds (optional)
- 4 cups Cooked white or brown rice (for serving)
Instructions
Slice the beef flank steak thinly against the grain into approximately 1/4-inch thick strips. Place the strips in a bowl or resealable freezer bag if prepping for the freezer.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, oyster sauce, brown sugar, cornstarch, garlic, and grated ginger. Pour half of this sauce mixture over the beef strips and marinate for at least 30 minutes (or freeze if preparing as OAMC). Reserve the other half of the sauce.
If freezing, label and store the marinated beef and reserved sauce in airtight bags or containers. Also, blanch the broccoli florets in boiling water for 2 minutes, shock them in an ice bath, drain, and store them in a separate freezer-friendly bag.
When ready to cook, heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the marinated beef and stir fry for 2-3 minutes until browned and cooked through. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, heat the remaining tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add the broccoli florets and stir fry for 2-3 minutes until tender-crisp.
Return the cooked beef to the skillet with the broccoli. Pour the reserved sauce over the beef and broccoli. Add 1/3 cup of water and stir everything together, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly and coat the ingredients evenly, about 2-3 minutes.
Remove from heat, garnish with sesame seeds if desired, and serve hot over cooked white or brown rice.
