Number Of Ingredients 16

1/2 cup oyster sauce
1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
2 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons rice vinegar
2 tablespoons orange blossom honey or your favorite local honey
2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper
2 pounds beef flank steak, thinly sliced across the grain (freeze slightly for easier slicing)
1/4 cup cornstarch
6 tablespoons peanut oil
1 bunch green onions, cut into 2-inch pieces on the diagonal (about 1 cup)
1 red bell pepper, cut into 1-inch dice (about 1 1/2 cups)
2 tablespoons minced garlic
2 tablespoons peeled and minced fresh ginger
2 large heads of broccoli, cut into florets
2 teaspoons sesame seeds
Steamed rice, for serving

Steps:

  • Combine the oyster sauce, soy sauce, vinegar, honey, sesame oil, and crushed red pepper. Mix well and set aside.
  • Toss the beef in the cornstarch, shake to remove any excess, and set aside.
  • Heat a wok or large skillet over high heat. Add 2 tablespoons of the peanut oil. Once it begins to smoke, add the green onions, bell pepper, garlic, and ginger and cook for 1 minute. Add the broccoli and cook, stirring frequently, for 3 minutes. Transfer the broccoli and peppers to a small platter and set aside.
  • Add 2 tablespoons of the remaining peanut oil to the wok. Add half of the beef and saute, stirring frequently, until browned, about 1 minute. Transfer the beef to the platter with the broccoli. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons peanut oil to the pan and cook the remaining beef.
  • Return the reserved broccoli and beef mixture to the wok. Add the sauce and cook, stirring to coat the beef and broccoli evenly, until warmed through, about 2 minutes. Add the sesame seeds, stir to combine, and serve immediately with steamed rice.
