Ingredients
1 lb flank steak, thinly sliced
1/4 cup soy sauce

1/4 cup water
1 lb broccoli florets
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tbsp ginger, minced
1/4 cup beef broth
1 tbsp sesame oil
1 tbsp brown sugar

Instructions
1. Marinate the beef by combining the soy sauce, oyster sauce, and cornstarch in a bowl. Add the sliced flank steak and mix well. Let it rest for 20 minutes.
2. Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the marinated beef and stir-fry until browned. Remove the beef and set aside.
3. In the same skillet, add the remaining vegetable oil. Add the garlic and ginger, and stir-fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
4. Add the broccoli florets and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until they are bright green and crisp-tender.
5. In a small bowl, mix together the water, beef broth, sesame oil, and brown sugar. Pour the mixture into the skillet.
6. Return the beef to the skillet and mix everything together. Stir in the black pepper.
