Begin by marinating the beef: in a bowl, combine the sliced flank steak, soy sauce, and cornstarch. Let sit for 15-20 minutes.

Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated beef and sauté until browned, about 3-5 minutes. Remove beef from the skillet and set aside.

In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of oil. Add minced garlic and grated ginger, sautéing for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

Add the broccoli florets and stir-fry for 4-5 minutes until bright green and tender-crisp.

Return the beef to the skillet and pour in the oyster sauce along with 1 tablespoon of water. Toss everything together and cook for an additional 2 minutes, allowing the flavors to combine.
