01Ingredients

  • 1 lb beef sirloin, thinly sliced
  • 2 cups broccoli florets
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

02Marinating the Beef

  • In a bowl, combine the soy sauce, oyster sauce, minced garlic, grated ginger, and red pepper flakes (if using).
  • Add the sliced beef to the marinade and toss until well coated. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes, or overnight for best results.

03Cooking the Broccoli

  • Bring a pot of salted water to a boil.

  • Drain the broccoli and set aside.

04Stir-Frying the Beef and Broccoli

  • Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over high heat.
  • Add the marinated beef to the hot pan and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes, or until browned and cooked to desired doneness.
  • Remove the beef from the pan and set aside.
  • In the same pan, add the cooked broccoli and stir-fry for 1-2 minutes.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and water to create a slurry.
  • Pour the slurry into the pan and stir until the sauce thickens.
  • Add the cooked beef back to the pan and toss to coat it in the sauce.
  • Season with salt and pepper to taste.
