Recipe by Japanese Delight

This is from the Williams-Sonoma Cookbook, and it is SOOOOOO good! *I made this using top sirloin instead of the flank steak. Also to cut some cooking time instead of boiling the broccoli, I microwaved it for 2 minutes in a bowl with a tablespoon of water covered in saran wrap.

Cut the steak across the grain into strips 3 inches long and 1/4 inch wide.

In another bowl, combine the oyster sauce, both soys, 1 tsp oil, the remaining 1 tsp cornstarch, the remaining 1/2 tsp sugar, white pepper to taste, and 2 Tbsp water, st aside. Bring a sauce pan 3/4 full of water to boil, and add broccoli florets, blanch until just tender 3-4 minutes. Drain, rinse under cold water until cool, then drain again. Set aside.
Remove the beef from the bowl and pat dry with paper towels. In a wok or large, deep saute pan over high heat, heat 2 Tbsp of peanut oil until very hot. Add the beef and stir fry until opaque, 3-4 mintues. Using a slotted spoon, quickly transfer the beef to a sieve placed over a bowl to drain.
Wipe out the pan with paper towels and reheat over high heat. Add the remianing 1 Tbsp oil and heat until very hot. Add garlic, and ginger and stir fry just until golden brown, 15-20 sec.
