Equipment

  • skillet
  • medium bowl
  • Small bowl
  • Large Measuring Cup

Ingredients
  

  • 2 Tbsp. dry sherry or shaoxing wine
  • 2 Tbsp. unseasoned rice vinegar
  • ½ tsp. kosher salt
  • ½ tsp. freshly ground black pepper
  • cup low-sodium soy sauce plus ¼ cup, divided
  • 2 Tbsp. cornstarch plus 1 ½ tsp., divided
  • 2 Tbsp. light brown sugar divided
  • 1 ½ lb. flank or skirt steak sliced very thin against the grain
  • 4 cloves garlic
  • 1 (½") piece ginger peeled
  • 2 scallions
  • 2 small heads broccoli
  • cup low-sodium beef broth
  • 2 Tbsp. oyster sauce
  • 2 tsp. sriracha optional
  • 3 Tbsp. vegetable oil divided
  • Toasted sesame seeds
  • white rice for serving

Instructions
 

  • In a medium bowl, combine sherry, vinegar, salt, pepper, ⅓ cup soy sauce, 1 tablespoon plus 1 ½ teaspoons cornstarch, and 1 tablespoon brown sugar. Add steak and toss to coat. Let sit 20 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, finely chop garlic and ginger. Slice scallions and separate green and white parts. In a small bowl, combine garlic, ginger, and white scallion parts; reserve green parts for serving. Chop broccoli into florets and transfer to another small bowl.
  • In a large measuring cup, whisk broth, oyster sauce, sriracha (if using), and remaining ¼ cup soy sauce, 1 tablespoon cornstarch, and 1 tablespoon brown sugar. When ready to cook, arrange bowls of beef, garlic mixture, broccoli, and stir-fry sauce next to stove.
  • In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat 1 tablespoon oil. Add half of beef and cook, undisturbed, 1 minute, then stir and cook until cooked through and starting to char in some spots, about 1 minute more. Transfer to a plate. Repeat with 1 tablespoon oil and remaining beef. Discard excess marinade.
  • Return skillet to medium heat and heat remaining 1 tablespoon oil. Add garlic mixture and cook, stirring occasionally, until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add broccoli and cook, stirring frequently, until slightly softened, about 1 minute, then add stir-fry sauce. Cover and cook 3 minutes. Uncover, return beef to skillet, and toss to coat. Cook, tossing frequently, until warmed through and broccoli is crisp-tender, 2 to 3 minutes more.
  • Divide rice among plates. Top with stir-fry, sesame seeds, and reserved green scallion parts.

Notes

For a complete meal, serve with steamed white rice.
