Ingredients

  • 1 pound flank steak, thinly sliced against the grain
  • 2 cups broccoli florets
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch

Instructions

  3. In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of oil. Stir in the garlic and ginger, cooking for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
  4. Add the broccoli and water to the skillet. Cover and steam for 2-3 minutes until the broccoli is tender-crisp.
