Instructions

Marinate the Beef: In a bowl, combine sliced flank steak with soy sauce, Shaoxing wine, and cornstarch. Mix and marinate for 20 minutes.
Make the Sauce: In another bowl, whisk together all sauce ingredients until smooth. Set aside.
Cook the Broccoli: Heat 1 tbsp oil in a skillet over medium-high. Stir-fry broccoli for 2-3 minutes until tender-crisp. Remove and set aside.
Stir-Fry the Beef: Add remaining oil to skillet. Sear beef in a single layer for 1-2 minutes, then stir and cook for 2-3 more minutes until nearly cooked through.
Add Aromatics: Push beef aside. Sauté garlic and ginger in the open space for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Combine: Add broccoli back to skillet. Re-whisk and pour in the sauce. Toss everything together until coated and sauce thickens (2-3 minutes).
Serve: Remove from heat and serve hot over steamed rice or noodles.

Notes

Add extra veggies like carrots, bell peppers, or snap peas.
For spice, add chili garlic sauce or red pepper flakes to the sauce.
For extra tender beef, add 1/4 tsp baking soda to the marinade.
Use tamari and gluten-free oyster sauce for a gluten-free version.
