Ingredients

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

2 cups broccoli florets

1 cup bell peppers, sliced (choose red or yellow for color)

1 cup snap peas, trimmed

3 cloves garlic, minced

1-inch piece of fresh ginger, grated

3 tablespoons soy sauce, divided

2 tablespoons oyster sauce

1 tablespoon cornstarch

1 tablespoon vegetable oil

1 teaspoon sesame oil

2 cups cooked jasmine or basmati rice

1 tablespoon sesame seeds (for garnish)

Chopped green onions (for garnish)

Instructions

Marinate the Beef: In a medium mixing bowl, incorporate the sliced flank steak, 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, and cornstarch. Stir thoroughly until the beef is evenly coated. Allow this to marinate for a minimum of 15 minutes while you prepare the other ingredients for the stir-fry.

Prepare the Sauce: In a small bowl, combine the remaining soy sauce (2 tablespoons), oyster sauce, and sesame oil. Whisk until well blended and set aside for later use.

Cook the Broccoli: Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the broccoli florets. Stir-fry for approximately 2-3 minutes, or until the broccoli is vibrant green and tender-crisp. Remove the broccoli from the skillet and transfer it to a plate, setting aside.

Stir-Fry the Beef: In the same skillet, add the marinated beef in a single layer to achieve an even sear. Allow it to cook undisturbed for about 2-3 minutes. Then, stir-fry the beef for an additional 2 minutes until it's fully cooked. Push the beef to one side of the pan to create space for the vegetables.

Add Vegetables: Into the skillet, add the sliced bell peppers, snap peas, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Stir-fry all the ingredients together for an additional 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender yet still crisp.

Combine: Pour the prepared sauce over the beef and vegetable mixture. Toss everything thoroughly to ensure even coating and heat through for about 1-2 minutes.

Serve: Spoon the delicious stir-fry over a generous bed of cooked rice. Finish by garnishing with sesame seeds and freshly chopped green onions for a burst of flavor and color.
