Instructions

Prepare the Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, beef broth, oyster sauce, cornstarch, brown sugar, sesame oil, grated ginger, and red pepper flakes (if using). Set aside.
Cook the Beef: Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sliced beef and cook until browned, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove beef from the skillet and set aside.
Cook the Broccoli: In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add the broccoli florets and stir-fry for about 3 minutes until they are bright green and tender-crisp.
Combine Ingredients: Return the cooked beef to the skillet with the broccoli. Pour in the prepared sauce and stir well to combine. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken and evenly coat the beef and broccoli.
Serve: Remove from heat and serve immediately over steamed rice or noodles.
