Prepare all ingredients before you start cooking. Slice the beef into thin strips against the grain for tenderness, and chop the broccoli into bite-sized florets. Mince garlic cloves finely, then set everything aside.
Make the sauce by mixing soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, cornstarch, sugar, and a bit of water in a bowl. Stir well until the sugar and cornstarch dissolve completely for a smooth sauce consistency.
Preheat your wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. Add vegetable oil, and when it shimmers, toss in the sliced beef. Stir-fry quickly for about 2–3 minutes until just browned. Remove beef from the wok.
Add additional oil if needed, then sauté the minced garlic for a few seconds, followed by the broccoli florets. Stir-fry until broccoli is vibrant green and tender-crisp.
Return the beef to the wok, pour in the prepared sauce, and stir well. Cook for another 1–2 minutes, making sure everything is evenly coated and heated through.
Notes
Store any leftovers in an airtight container. Reheat gently in the microwave or a skillet with a splash of water.
