  • 0.5 tbsp toasted sesame oil
  • 2 tsp sugar
  • 0.25 cup beef or chicken stock
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil

  • 2 tsp fresh ginger
  • 1 tsp garlic
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 600 g flank steak
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 0.5 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1 tbsp water
  • 2 cups steamed rice
  • 2 tbsp spring onion

Instructions

  1. Prepare the stir fry sauce by mixing 2 1/2 tablespoons of oyster sauce, 1 tablespoon of light soy sauce, 1/2 tablespoon of toasted sesame oil, 2 teaspoons of sugar, and 1/4 cup of beef or chicken stock in a bowl. Set this aside.
  2. Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a wok or large frying pan over medium heat.
  3. Add 250g of broccoli florets to the pan and stir-fry for around 4 minutes, or until just tender.
  4. Add 2 teaspoons of thinly sliced fresh ginger and 1 teaspoon of minced garlic to the pan and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant.
  5. Remove the broccoli, ginger, and garlic from the pan, transfer to a plate, and cover to keep warm.
  6. Turn the heat up to high and add another 2 tablespoons of oil to the pan.
  7. Add 600g of thinly sliced flank steak in a single layer, season with salt and pepper, and stir-fry for 3–4 minutes per side or until nicely browned and just cooked through.
  8. Return the cooked broccoli, ginger, and garlic to the pan and stir-fry for another 2 minutes until everything is warmed through.
  9. Pour the prepared stir fry sauce into the pan and stir to coat evenly, cooking for about 30 seconds.
  10. Add the cornstarch slurry (1 tablespoon of cornstarch mixed with 1 tablespoon of water) and bring to a boil. Cook for another minute or until the sauce thickens slightly and coats everything nicely.
  11. Serve hot with steamed rice and garnish with spring onion if desired.
