This recipe is filled with everything you love about beef and broccoli: a thick and flavorful sauce, perfectly cooked beef, and fresh broccoli. For our version of this hearty dish, we set out to achieve perfectly cooked, crisp vegetables and flavorful meat. Our cast-iron skillet was a surprisingly perfect tool for stir-frying; when we got it ripping hot, we could sear the meat and vegetables quickly without overcooking them. For the meat, flank steak offered the best beefy taste, and slicing it thin against the grain made it tender. We cooked the beef in two batches over medium heat to make sure that it browned and didn't steam. Then we cooked the broccoli until crisp-tender using a combination of methods—sautéing and steaming—and added some red bell pepper for sweetness and color. For the sauce, a flavorful combination of oyster sauce, chicken broth, dry sherry, brown sugar, and toasted sesame oil, lightly thickened with cornstarch, clung to the beef and vegetables without getting gloppy.
