Ingredients
  

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

2 cups broccoli florets, fresh or frozen

1 bell pepper (red or yellow), thinly sliced

3 cloves garlic, minced

1-inch piece ginger, peeled and grated

3 tablespoons soy sauce, divided

1 tablespoon oyster sauce

1 tablespoon cornstarch

2 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided

1 tablespoon sesame oil

2 green onions, finely sliced (for garnish)

Cooked rice or noodles (for serving)

Instructions
 

Marinate the Beef: In a mixing bowl, add the thinly sliced beef flank steak, 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, and the cornstarch. Toss well to ensure the beef is evenly coated. Allow it to marinate for at least 10 minutes while you prepare the rest of the ingredients.

    Heat the Pan: Place a large skillet or wok on high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Heat the oil until it shimmers, indicating it's ready for cooking.

      Cook the Beef: Carefully add the marinated beef in a single layer. Allow it to sear untouched for 2-3 minutes until it develops a nice brown crust. Stir-fry the beef for an additional 2-3 minutes until fully cooked through. Remove the beef from the pan and set it aside on a plate.

        Stir-Fry the Vegetables: In the same pan, add the remaining tablespoon of vegetable oil. Introducing minced garlic and grated ginger first, stir-fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Next, add the sliced bell pepper and broccoli florets. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes, or until the broccoli turns bright green and is crisp-tender.

          Combine Ingredients: Return the cooked beef to the pan with the stir-fried vegetables. Pour in the remaining 1 tablespoon of soy sauce and the oyster sauce. Toss everything together over high heat for another 2 minutes, ensuring all ingredients are well-coated and heated through.

            Add Finishing Touches: Drizzle the sesame oil over the stir-fry. Toss everything gently to combine and remove the pan from heat.

              Serve: Serve the sizzling beef and broccoli stir-fry over a generous bed of cooked rice or noodles. Garnish with finely sliced green onions for a fresh finish. Enjoy your delicious and colorful dish immediately!
