Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Flank steak
- 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 3 cups Broccoli florets
- 3 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 cup Fresh orange juice
- 1 teaspoon Orange zest
- 3 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons Oyster sauce
- 1 tablespoon White vinegar
- 0.5 teaspoons Red pepper flakes (optional)
- 2 stalks Green onions, sliced
- 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds (for garnish)
- 4 cups Cooked white or brown rice (for serving)
Instructions
Slice the flank steak thinly against the grain into bite-sized strips. In a small bowl, toss the beef with cornstarch and soy sauce until evenly coated. Set aside for 10 minutes to marinate.
In a small bowl, whisk together the orange juice, orange zest, brown sugar, oyster sauce, white vinegar, and red pepper flakes (if using). Set the sauce aside.
Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the marinated beef in a single layer and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until browned and cooked through. Remove the beef from the skillet and set it aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add the broccoli florets and stir fry for 3-4 minutes until they are tender but still crisp. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds, stirring frequently.
Return the cooked beef to the skillet with the broccoli. Pour the prepared orange sauce into the skillet and toss everything together to coat evenly. Cook for 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.
Remove from heat and garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds. Serve hot over steamed white or brown rice.
