Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound flank steak
- 4 cups broccoli florets
- 0.25 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon ginger, freshly grated
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 0.25 cup water
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 0.5 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 2 scallions, thinly sliced
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon pepper
Instructions
Slice the flank steak against the grain into thin strips, about 1/4-inch thick. Pat dry with paper towels and set aside.
In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, cornstarch, and water. Set the sauce aside.
Bring a pot of water to a boil and blanch the broccoli florets for 2 minutes. Immediately transfer them to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process, then drain and set aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over high heat. Add the flank steak slices in a single layer and season with salt and pepper. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side until brown and slightly caramelized. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to the skillet. Reduce the heat to medium-high and sauté the minced garlic and grated ginger for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the blanched broccoli to the skillet along with the red pepper flakes. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until the broccoli is heated through and slightly tender.
Return the cooked flank steak to the skillet. Stir the prepared sauce and pour it over the beef and broccoli. Toss everything together to evenly coat with the sauce. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens.
Remove the skillet from heat and garnish the dish with sliced scallions before serving.
Serve 'Flank and Broccoli' hot over steamed rice or noodles.
