Slice 1 lb flank steak against the grain into thin 1/4-inch strips. Toss with 1 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tsp cornstarch, and 1 tsp sesame oil; marinate 15 minutes.
15 minutes
Whisk the sauce: 3 tbsp oyster sauce, 2 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp Shaoxing wine, 1 tsp rice vinegar, 1 tsp sugar, 1 tsp cornstarch, and 1/3 cup (80 ml) beef stock. Set aside.
Blanch 4 cups broccoli florets in salted boiling water for 90 seconds until vivid green, then shock in ice water and drain thoroughly.
Heat a wok over high heat until it smokes lightly, then add 2 tbsp peanut oil and swirl to coat.
Sear the beef in a single layer for 60 seconds without stirring to build a crust, then toss for another 30 seconds until just browned. Transfer to a plate.
Reduce heat to medium-high, add 1 tbsp peanut oil, then stir-fry 4 minced garlic cloves and 1 tbsp grated ginger for 20 seconds until fragrant but not coloured.
Return the beef with the broccoli, pour in the sauce, and toss constantly for 1-2 minutes until the sauce reduces and coats every piece glossily.
1-2 minutes
Finish with a drizzle of sesame oil and a scatter of sliced green onions. Serve immediately over steamed jasmine rice.

Chef's tip

Get your wok ripping hot before adding oil — you should see wisps of smoke. This 'wok hei' char is what transforms home stir-fry into restaurant-quality with that signature smoky aroma.
