Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb flank steak, thinly sliced against the grain
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 cup broccoli florets
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 carrot, julienned
  • 1/2 onion, sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
  • For the Sauce:
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch
  • 1/4 cup water

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, combine the sliced flank steak with 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 tablespoon cornstarch, and 1 tablespoon sesame oil. Toss to coat and let marinate for at least 10 minutes.
  2. While the beef marinates, prepare the sauce. In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup soy sauce, oyster sauce, rice vinegar, sugar, 1 tablespoon cornstarch, and water. Set aside.
  3. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the marinated beef in a single layer and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, until browned. Remove beef from skillet and set aside.
  4. Add broccoli, bell pepper, carrot, and onion to the skillet. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until vegetables are crisp-tender.
  5. Add minced garlic and grated ginger to the skillet and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  6. Pour the prepared sauce into the skillet and bring to a simmer, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens.
  7. Return the cooked beef to the skillet and toss to coat with the sauce. Cook for 1-2 minutes more until heated through.
  8. Serve immediately over rice or noodles.

Notes

  • For best results, slice the beef thinly against the grain.
  • Do not overcrowd the pan when cooking the beef; cook in batches if necessary.
  • Adjust sugar in the sauce to your preference.
