Ingredients
  

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

2 cups fresh broccoli florets

1 large red bell pepper, sliced into thin strips

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon fresh ginger, finely minced

2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce

1 tablespoon oyster sauce

1 tablespoon cornstarch

1 teaspoon sesame oil

2 tablespoons vegetable oil (for cooking)

Salt and pepper to taste

Cooked rice or noodles, for serving

Optional garnish: sesame seeds and sliced green onions

Instructions
 

Marinate the Beef: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the thinly sliced flank steak with low-sodium soy sauce, oyster sauce, cornstarch, and sesame oil. Toss to coat all the pieces evenly. Allow the beef to marinate for about 10 minutes; this step will enhance both flavor and tenderness.

    Blanch the Broccoli: While the beef is marinating, bring a small pot of water to a rolling boil. Add the broccoli florets and blanch them for approximately 2 minutes or until they turn bright green and are just slightly tender. Drain the broccoli and transfer it to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. Set aside.

      Cook the Beef: In a large skillet or wok, heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the marinated beef in a single layer (you may need to do this in batches if your skillet is not large enough). Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until browned on one side. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside, ensuring to leave the juices in the pan.

        Sauté the Vegetables: Add the remaining tablespoon of vegetable oil to the same skillet. Sauté the minced garlic and ginger for about 30 seconds or until fragrant, stirring frequently to avoid burning. Next, add the sliced red bell pepper and the blanched broccoli. Stir-fry the mixture for an additional 2-3 minutes until the bell pepper is tender yet retains a slight crunch.

          Combine Ingredients: Return the cooked beef to the skillet with the sautéed vegetables. Toss everything together, ensuring the beef is heated through and well combined with the vegetables. Cook for another 1-2 minutes. Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.

            Serve: Serve the stir-fry immediately over warm, cooked rice or noodles. For an extra touch, garnish with a sprinkle of sesame seeds and sliced green onions before serving.
