Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 4 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 teaspoons sugar
- 5 tablespoons peanut oil
- 1 pound flank steak, thinly sliced against the grain
- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
- 1 1/4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
- 4 thin slices peeled ginger
- 1 head broccoli, cut into florets
- 1 large onion, halved and sliced 1/2 inch thick
- 3 plum tomatoes, quartered lengthwise
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- Cooked white rice, for serving (optional)
Directions
Whisk 1 tablespoon cornstarch, 3 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 teaspoon sugar and 1 tablespoon peanut oil in a large bowl. Add the steak and toss to coat; refrigerate until ready to cook.
Whisk the remaining 1 tablespoon each cornstarch and soy sauce, the oyster sauce and chicken broth in a small bowl; set aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon peanut oil in a large skillet over high heat. Add the ginger, broccoli and the remaining 1 teaspoon sugar and stir-fry 3 to 4 minutes; transfer to a plate. Heat 1 more tablespoon peanut oil in the skillet, add the onion and stir-fry 2 to 3 minutes. Add the tomatoes and cook, turning gently, 2 minutes. Transfer the onion and tomatoes to the plate with the broccoli.
Reduce the heat to medium high; add the remaining 2 tablespoons peanut oil to the skillet. Add the garlic and steak and stir-fry 1 minute. Whisk the sauce mixture, then add to the skillet and simmer 1 minute. Return the vegetables to the skillet; cook until the meat is cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes. Serve with rice, if desired.

I made this last night and was very disappointed. I followed the recipe and used only fresh herbs and it was still very bland. The meat was excellent, but that was it. I even added red pepper to give it some kick, but that really do it, either. I have made far better Chinese dishes than this one. I won't be making it again.

This was excellent! I omitted the tomatoes. Next time I would use more ginger and more garlic.I might consider adding red bell pepper, sliced carrots or mushrooms. Or I think you could substitute green bell pepper for the broccoli. This was by far the best chinese recipe I've ever tried. Thank you Food Network magazine!

Very tasty. I did not use broccoli and used asparagus and little sweet peppers in all the colors instead. Changed up the tomatoes for little grape tomatoes. I also added a little siracha hot sauce at the end since I like spicy and garnished with some fresh cilantro. Delish!
