Ingredients
  

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

2 cups broccoli florets

1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced

1 cup snap peas, trimmed

3 tablespoons vegetable oil (divided)

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced

3 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce

1 tablespoon oyster sauce

1 tablespoon cornstarch

1 tablespoon water

1 teaspoon sesame oil

Cooked rice or noodles, for serving

Sesame seeds and sliced green onions, for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Marinate the Beef: In a small bowl, mix the sliced flank steak with 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, cornstarch, and water until well combined. Allow the beef to marinate for approximately 10 minutes as you prep the vegetables.

    Prepare the Vegetables: Thoroughly rinse the broccoli and cut it into small, bite-sized florets. Slice the red bell pepper into thin strips and trim the ends of the snap peas. Set all prepared vegetables aside.

      Heat the Pan: In a large skillet or wok, heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Once the oil is shimmering, add the marinated beef in an even layer. Sear the beef for about 2-3 minutes, allowing it to brown on one side but not fully cook through. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.

        Cook the Veggies: In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of vegetable oil. Immediately add the minced garlic and ginger, stirring vigorously for approximately 30 seconds to release their fragrant aromas without burning. Introduce the broccoli florets, sliced red bell pepper, and snap peas to the skillet, stir-frying for an additional 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp and vibrantly colored.

          Combine and Sauce: Return the partially cooked beef to the skillet with the vegetables. Pour in the remaining tablespoon of soy sauce, oyster sauce, and sesame oil. Toss everything together gently to ensure the beef and vegetables are well-coated in the sauce. Cook for another 2 minutes or until the beef is cooked through and everything is harmoniously combined.

            Serve: Serve the sizzling beef and broccoli stir-fry over a bed of steaming cooked rice or noodles. For an extra touch, garnish with a sprinkle of sesame seeds and a scatter of sliced green onions, if desired.
