Ingredients
- 1 ½ pounds flank steak
- Kosher salt and black pepper
- 1 bunch scallions, cut into 1-inch pieces, white and light green parts separated from dark green parts
- 1 tablespoon avocado oil or canola oil
- ¼ cup oyster sauce
- ¼ cup low-sodium beef broth
- 2 tablespoons tamari or low-sodium soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh ginger
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh garlic
- 1 tablespoon honey or granulated sugar
- 4 teaspoons cornstarch
- 1 pound broccoli, cut into 1-inch pieces
- Cooked rice and toasted sesame seeds, for serving
Instructions
- Cut steak in half lengthwise, with grain then cut each half against grain into thin ¼-inch pieces; season with 1 teaspoon pepper and ½ teaspoon kosher salt.
- Heat 1 tablespoon oil in 12-inch nonstick skillet over high heat until shimmering.
- Add beef and scallion white and light green parts to skillet; use tongs to arrange in a single layer. Cook, without stirring, until beef is browned on bottom, about 2 minutes.
- Stir and continue to cook until beef is no longer pink, about 2 minutes more, stirring occasionally.
- For the sauce, whisk together oyster sauce, broth, tamari, ginger, garlic, and honey. Add cornstarch and whisk until smooth.
- Add sauce mixture and broccoli to skillet and toss to combine. Reduce heat to medium, cover, and cook until broccoli is crisp-tender, 3–5 minutes, uncovering and stirring beef and broccoli occasionally.
- Off heat, stir in scallion greens and serve over rice with sesame seeds.
Equipment
large nonstick skillet
Notes
Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
Time Saving Tips:
- Prep everything ahead of time. Slice the steak, cut the broccoli into florets, mix up the stir fry sauce ahead of time. Store everything, separately, in containers in the refrigerator for up to 2 days ahead of time. When it’s time to cook, simply pull everything out and dinner will be done in 10 minutes!
- Use a bag of raw broccoli florets instead of breaking a head of broccoli down yourself. This will save a few minutes of prep time.
- Use a jarred stir fry sauce—this will save both on prep time and ingredient list. Making this a 4 ingredient recipe!
