Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a medium bowl, combine 1 pound of sliced flank steak with 2 tablespoons of soy sauce and 1 tablespoon of cornstarch. Mix well to coat the beef thoroughly and let it marinate for at least 15 minutes at room temperature.
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Once the oil is shimmering, add the marinated beef in a single layer and stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes until browned.
  3. In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of vegetable oil and toss in the sliced onion and bell pepper. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until soft.
  4. Stir in 3 cloves of minced garlic and 1 cup of broccoli florets. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until bright green.
  5. Return the cooked beef to the skillet with the vegetables, add 2 tablespoons of oyster sauce and 1 teaspoon of sesame oil, and toss until well combined.
  6. Plate your Beef and Onion Stir-Fry over a bed of cooked rice, garnish if desired, and enjoy!
