Beef and Broccoli Stir-Fry in 20 Minutes | Garlic Ginger

Instructions:

1. Slice the 1 lb flank steak into 1/8 inch strips against the grain. In a medium bowl, toss the beef with 1 tbsp cornstarch and 1 tbsp of the soy sauce until every piece is coated.
2. Whisk together the remaining 2 tbsp soy sauce, 1/2 cup beef broth, 1/4 cup oyster sauce, 1 tbsp brown sugar, and 1 tsp toasted sesame oil. Set this aside near the stove.
3. Heat 1 tbsp neutral oil in your pan over high heat until you see a faint wisp of smoke. Add the beef in a single layer.
4. Cook the beef for 2 minutes without moving it to get a crust, then stir and cook for 1 more minute. Remove the beef from the pan and set it aside on a plate.
5. Add the remaining 1 tbsp oil to the pan. Toss in the broccoli florets and stir fry for 2 minutes until they turn bright green.
6. Add the 4 cloves of minced garlic and 1 tbsp grated ginger to the center of the pan. Stir fry for only 30 seconds until the fragrance hits you.
7. Add 2 tbsp of water to the pan and cover with a lid for 1 minute. This will steam the broccoli so it’s tender but still has a snap.
8. Pour the sauce mixture into the pan and bring it to a simmer. It will start to thicken almost immediately.
9. Add the beef and any accumulated juices back into the pan. Toss everything together for 1 minute until the sauce is thick and glossy.
10. Remove from heat and serve immediately over rice or noodles. The sauce should cling to the broccoli like a velvety blanket.
