1

Gather all the ingredients.
2

In a bowl, whisk together oyster sauce, sherry, sesame oil, soy sauce, sugar, and cornstarch; stir until the sugar dissolves.
3

Place the steak in a shallow bowl. Pour the oyster sauce mixture over the meat and stir to coat; cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
4

Heat vegetable oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ginger and the garlic; let them sizzle for about 1 minute to flavor the oil, then remove and discard them.
5

Stir in the broccoli. Toss and stir until it turns bright green and is almost tender, 5 to 7 minutes; remove the broccoli from the wok and set it aside.
6

Add a little more oil to the wok if needed, then add the beef with the marinade.
7

Stir and toss until the sauce thickens and becomes glossy and the meat is no longer pink, about 5 minutes.
8

Return the broccoli to the wok; stir until heated through, about 3 minutes.

Serve and enjoy.
