Ingredients
  

1 pound flank steak, thinly sliced against the grain

2 cups fresh broccoli florets

1 bell pepper, sliced (choose red or yellow for extra color)

3 cloves garlic, finely minced

1-inch piece of fresh ginger, grated

1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce

2 tablespoons oyster sauce

1 tablespoon cornstarch

1 tablespoon vegetable oil (for frying)

1 tablespoon sesame oil

1 tablespoon honey

1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, for heat)

Cooked rice or noodles, for serving

Sesame seeds and chopped green onions, for garnish

Instructions
 

Marinate the Beef: In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the sliced flank steak with soy sauce, oyster sauce, cornstarch, and honey. Mix thoroughly to ensure all the beef slices are well coated. Let it marinate for 10 minutes while you prepare the other ingredients.

    Prep the Vegetables: As the beef marinates, wash the broccoli and cut it into bite-sized florets. Slice the bell pepper into thin strips. Mince the garlic and grate the ginger, setting them aside for the stir-fry.

      Cook the Beef: Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the marinated beef in a single layer, taking care not to overcrowd the pan. Sear for about 2-3 minutes until the beef is browned on one side, then flip the slices and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until just cooked through. Remove the beef from the skillet and set it aside on a plate.

        Stir-Fry the Vegetables: In the same skillet, if necessary, add a splash more vegetable oil. Toss in the minced garlic and grated ginger, stir-frying for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Then, add the broccoli and bell pepper to the skillet. Stir-fry for 4-5 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender-crisp and vibrant in color.

          Combine and Finish: Return the cooked beef to the skillet with the stir-fried vegetables. Drizzle the mixture with sesame oil, and sprinkle in the red pepper flakes if you like a bit of heat. Toss everything together for another 1-2 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld beautifully.

            Serve: Serve the delightful beef and broccoli stir-fry over a bed of cooked rice or noodles. For an added touch of flavor and visual appeal, garnish your dish with a sprinkle of sesame seeds and a handful of chopped green onions.
