2 tbsp vegetable oil
3 cups broccoli florets

Method

In a bowl, toss sliced beef with 2 tbsp soy sauce, oyster sauce, and 1 tbsp cornstarch. Let marinate for 10 minutes.
Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add beef in batches and stir-fry for 2–3 minutes until browned. Remove and set aside.
In the same pan, add remaining oil. Stir-fry broccoli, garlic, and ginger for 3–4 minutes until broccoli is bright green and slightly tender.
