Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb (450g) flank steak or sirloin, thinly sliced against the grain
  • 2 cups (about 150g) broccoli florets, washed and cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 4 cloves garlic, finely minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce (naturally brewed recommended)
  • 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
  • 1 teaspoon brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 cup (185g) jasmine rice, uncooked, rinsed
  • 2 cups water (for cooking rice)
  • Optional garnishes: sliced green onions, toasted sesame seeds

Instructions

  1. Rinse 1 cup (185g) jasmine rice under cold water until clear. Combine rice with 2 cups water in a pot, bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes. Turn off heat and let steam, covered, for 10 minutes. Fluff with a fork before serving.
  2. Trim excess fat from 1 lb flank steak. Slice thinly against the grain into 1/4 inch strips. Toss beef strips in 1 tablespoon cornstarch until evenly coated.
  3. Cut broccoli into bite-sized florets. Mince 4 garlic cloves and 1 tablespoon fresh ginger finely.
  4. Heat 2 tablespoons vegetable oil over medium-high heat in a large skillet or wok. Add beef in a single layer (cook in batches if needed). Sear undisturbed for 1-2 minutes until edges brown, then stir-fry for 2-3 more minutes until mostly cooked but tender. Remove beef and set aside.
  5. In the same skillet, add more oil if needed. Stir-fry broccoli florets for 3-4 minutes until crisp-tender and bright green.
  6. Push broccoli to the side. Add garlic and ginger to empty space and stir quickly until fragrant, about 30 seconds to 1 minute.
  7. Return beef to skillet with broccoli and aromatics. Stir to combine. Pour in 3 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 tablespoon oyster sauce, 1 teaspoon brown sugar, and 1 teaspoon sesame oil. Stir well and cook 2-3 minutes until sauce thickens and coats everything evenly.
  8. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Remove from heat.
  9. Serve hot over jasmine rice. Garnish with sliced green onions or toasted sesame seeds if desired.

Notes

Use fresh garlic and ginger for best flavor. Toss beef in cornstarch before cooking for a silky sauce and slightly crispy coating. Avoid overcrowding the pan to get a good sear on the beef. Watch garlic closely to prevent bitterness. For gluten-free, substitute soy sauce with tamari. Oyster sauce can be swapped with mushroom or hoisin sauce if desired. Leftovers keep well for up to 3 days refrigerated; reheat gently with a splash of water.
