Notes
Freeze beef for 30 minutes before slicing to make thin cuts easier.Adjust cooking times when using frozen broccoli; drain excess moisture to prevent sogginess.Oyster sauce adds depth but can be omitted or substituted with more hoisin sauce.For thicker sauce, add more cornstarch slurry as needed.Substitute protein with chicken, or tofu for variation.
