Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound flank steak, thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
- 1/2 cup beef broth
- 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1/4 cup water
- Green onions, sliced, for garnish
Instructions
- In a bowl, combine sliced flank steak with 1/4 cup soy sauce, 2 tablespoons oyster sauce, 1 tablespoon cornstarch, 1 tablespoon brown sugar, and 1 teaspoon sesame oil. Toss to coat and let it marinate for at least 5 minutes.
- Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the marinated beef in a single layer, working in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding. Sear for 1-2 minutes per side until browned. Remove beef from skillet and set aside.
- Add minced garlic and grated ginger to the skillet. Stir-fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Pour in the beef broth. In a separate small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup packed brown sugar, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, and 1 tablespoon cornstarch with 1/4 cup water until smooth.
- Pour the sauce mixture into the skillet. Bring to a simmer, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens.
- Return the seared beef to the skillet. Toss to coat the beef evenly in the thickened sauce. Cook for another 1-2 minutes until the beef is heated through and coated.
- Serve immediately, garnished with sliced green onions.
Notes
- For best results, slice the steak against the grain.
- Adjust the sugar and soy sauce to your preference.
