Ingredients
  

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

4 cups fresh broccoli florets

1 cup sliced bell peppers (a vibrant mix of red and yellow)

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated

1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce

2 tablespoons oyster sauce

1 tablespoon sesame oil

1 tablespoon cornstarch

2 tablespoons vegetable oil

1 tablespoon rice vinegar

1 teaspoon sugar (optional, adjust to taste)

Salt and pepper to taste

Sesame seeds and sliced green onions for garnish

Instructions
 

Marinate the Beef: In a medium bowl, combine the sliced flank steak, low-sodium soy sauce, cornstarch, and sesame oil. Mix thoroughly to ensure each piece of beef is well-coated in the marinade. Cover and let it marinate in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes to enhance tenderness and flavor.

    Prepare the Stir-Fry Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the oyster sauce, rice vinegar, optional sugar, and a splash of water. This mixture will serve as your stir-fry sauce. Taste and adjust the sweetness and acidity according to your preference.

      Heat the Pan: Place a large non-stick skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil and let it heat until shimmering. Once hot, add the marinated beef in a single layer, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Cook for 3-4 minutes, flipping halfway, until browned on both sides. Remove the beef from the pan and set aside.

        Cook the Vegetables: In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of vegetable oil. Toss in the minced garlic and grated ginger, sautéing for about 30 seconds or until fragrant. Next, add the broccoli florets and sliced bell peppers. Stir-fry for 4-5 minutes, allowing them to remain vibrantly colored and tender yet still crisp.

          Combine and Stir-Fry: Return the cooked beef to the pan with the vegetables. Pour the prepared stir-fry sauce over the mixture, stirring well to ensure everything is evenly coated. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and everything to heat through. Season with additional salt and pepper to taste, if desired.

            Garnish: Once cooked, remove the skillet from the heat. Generously sprinkle sesame seeds and sliced green onions on top as a fresh finishing touch.

              Serve: Serve the savory beef and broccoli stir-fry hot over a bed of steaming rice or noodles for a delightful and satisfying complete meal.
