Ingredients
- 1.25 pound beef flank steak, thinly sliced against the grain
- 5 cup broccoli, cut into florets
- 0.75 cup roasted unsalted cashews
- 4 clove garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
- 3 tablespoon soy sauce
- 2 tablespoon oyster sauce
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 0.5 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 2 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 3 scallions, sliced
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds
- 2 cup white rice, steamed
Steps
- Slice the beef flank steak thinly against the grain and set aside. Cut broccoli into florets of roughly equal size.
- In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, oyster sauce, honey, rice vinegar, and red pepper flakes. Set the sauce aside.
- Mince the garlic and ginger and have all ingredients prepped and within arm's reach of your stove before you begin cooking.
- Heat a large wok or 12-inch skillet over high heat until very hot, about 1 minute.
- Add 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to the wok and swirl to coat evenly.
- Add the beef slices in a single layer and let them sear without stirring for 2 minutes until golden on one side.
- Stir and toss the beef for 1 minute until mostly cooked through, then transfer to a clean plate.
- Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to the wok and add the broccoli florets in a single layer.
- Cook the broccoli without stirring for 2 minutes until the bottoms char slightly, then stir and cook for another 2 minutes until tender-crisp.
- Push the broccoli to the sides of the wok, add minced garlic and ginger to the center, and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Return the cooked beef to the wok and pour in the prepared sauce.
- Toss everything together for 1 minute until the sauce coats all ingredients and the beef is heated through.
- Remove the wok from heat and drizzle in the sesame oil, then fold in the roasted cashews.
- Transfer the stir-fry to a serving platter and top with sliced scallions and sesame seeds.
- Serve immediately over steamed white rice.
