Ingredients
  

1 lb (450g) flank steak, thinly sliced against the grain

2 cups fresh broccoli florets

1 red bell pepper, sliced into strips

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon fresh ginger, finely minced

1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce

2 tablespoons oyster sauce

1 tablespoon cornstarch

2 tablespoons vegetable oil (divided)

2 teaspoons sesame oil

2 tablespoons water

Cooked jasmine rice, for serving

Sesame seeds and sliced green onions, for garnish

Instructions
 

Marinate the Beef: In a medium bowl, combine the thinly sliced flank steak with 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of cornstarch, and 1 tablespoon of water. Mix the ingredients well to ensure the beef is evenly coated. Allow it to marinate for approximately 10-15 minutes while you prepare the vegetables.

    Blanch the Broccoli: Bring a pot of water to a rolling boil. Carefully add the broccoli florets and blanch them for 2-3 minutes, until they are vibrant green and just tender. Drain the broccoli and immediately rinse under cold water to halt the cooking process. Set the blanched broccoli aside.

      Stir-Fry the Beef: Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated beef in a single layer, searing it for about 1-2 minutes without stirring. After it develops a nice crust, continue to stir-fry for an additional 2-3 minutes until the beef is browned and fully cooked. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.

        Cook the Vegetables: In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Once the oil is hot, add the minced garlic and ginger, sautéing for 30 seconds or until fragrant. Next, introduce the sliced red bell pepper and the blanched broccoli to the skillet. Stir-fry the vegetables together for about 3-4 minutes, ensuring they remain tender-crisp.

          Combine Everything: Return the cooked beef to the skillet with the vegetables. Pour in the remaining soy sauce and oyster sauce, followed by the sesame oil. Toss all the ingredients together gently to ensure they are well coated in the sauce, heating everything through for another 1-2 minutes.

            Serve: Serve the flavorful beef and broccoli stir-fry over a bed of fluffy cooked jasmine rice. For an appealing finish, sprinkle sesame seeds and sliced green onions on top, adding a delightful crunch and fresh flavor.
