Cooking steps

1

Slice the flank steak thinly against the grain and toss with 1 teaspoon of cornstarch for tenderness; set aside.
2

Mix oyster sauce, soy sauce, sugar, and remaining cornstarch with 1/4 cup water in a bowl to create the stir-fry sauce.
3

Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over high heat; add garlic and stir-fry for 10 seconds until fragrant.
4

Add the beef in a single layer and sear on high heat for 1 minute without stirring; then stir-fry for another minute until just browned, remove to a plate.
5

Add the remaining oil; toss in broccoli, carrot, and green onion. Stir-fry over medium-high heat for 2 minutes, adding a splash of water if the pan is dry.
6

Return the beef to the pan, pour in the sauce, and stir-fry everything together on high heat until the sauce is glossy and thickened, 1–2 minutes.
7

Season with black pepper, toss well, and serve immediately for best flavor and silky texture.

Personalized Q&A

Q. What's the key ingredient in this recipe?

The defining ingredient is oyster sauce, which lends rich umami and gloss to the dish. Combined with tender flank steak and fresh vegetables, it creates the classic flavor and texture of Beef with Oyster Sauce.

Q. How do I prevent the beef from getting tough?

Slice flank steak very thinly against the grain and toss with cornstarch before cooking. Sear the beef quickly over high heat and remove it once just browned. Overcooking will make the meat chewy, so timing is crucial.

Q. What gives this dish its signature texture?

A brief high-heat sear locks in the juices of the beef, while a touch of cornstarch in both marinade and sauce provides a silky finish. The sauce thickens quickly in the final stir-fry step for that glossy, restaurant-quality look.

Q. How many calories and how much protein does each serving have?

Each 200g serving contains about 290 kcal and 27 grams of protein, making it a high-protein main course with a well-balanced macronutrient profile.
