Instructions
Slice the flank steak thinly against the grain for tenderness. Set aside.
In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, oyster sauce, brown sugar, cornstarch, and water to make the sauce. Set aside.
Heat 1 tbsp vegetable oil in a large pan or wok over high heat. Add the beef and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until browned. Remove and set aside.
Add the remaining 1 tbsp oil to the pan. Stir-fry garlic, ginger, and red pepper flakes for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add broccoli florets and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until bright green and slightly tender.
Return the beef to the pan. Pour the sauce over and stir-fry for another 2 minutes until everything is well-coated and the sauce thickens.
Drizzle with sesame oil and garnish with sesame seeds. Serve hot over rice.
Chef's Tips
- Meat Prep: For easier slicing, freeze the beef for 20-30 minutes before cutting.
- Broccoli Tip: Blanch the broccoli for 1 minute in boiling water before stir-frying for extra tenderness.
- Sauce Thickness: Adjust cornstarch for a thicker or thinner sauce consistency.
- Spice Level: Adjust red pepper flakes to your preferred spice level.
- Leftovers: Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat gently to avoid overcooking the beef.
