Ingredients

Quantities are for 4 servings.

• 1 1/2 lb Flank steak, thinly sliced against the grain
• 2 heads Broccoli, cut into florets
• 1 each Red bell pepper, sliced
• 1 each Yellow onion, sliced
• 5 cloves Garlic
• 1 tbsp Fresh ginger, grated
• 3 tbsp Vegetable oil
• 1 1/2 cups (dry) White rice
• 1/3 cup Low-sodium soy sauce
• 2 tbsp Brown sugar
• 1 tbsp Oyster sauce
• 1 tbsp Cornstarch
• 1/3 cup Beef broth (or water)
• 1 tsp Sesame oil
• 1/4 tsp Red pepper flakes (optional)

Instructions

1. Start the rice according to package directions, adding 2 cloves minced garlic to the cooking water.
2. In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, brown sugar, oyster sauce, cornstarch, beef broth, sesame oil, and red pepper flakes (if using) until combined.
3. In a large wok or skillet, heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil over high heat. Add the broccoli and stir-fry 3 minutes until bright green but still crisp. Remove to a plate.
4. Add 1 tablespoon oil to the pan. Add the bell pepper and onion and stir-fry 2-3 minutes until softened. Remove to the plate with the broccoli.
5. Add the remaining oil. Add the beef in a single layer (work in batches if necessary) and let sear 1 minute without stirring, then stir and cook 1-2 minutes more until just cooked through.
6. Add the remaining garlic and the ginger and stir-fry 30 seconds until fragrant.
7. Return the vegetables to the pan, pour the sauce over everything, and stir to combine.
8. Cook 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats everything evenly. Serve hot over the garlic rice.
