Instructions
- Prepare the Sauce: In a medium bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, brown sugar, cornstarch, and beef broth until smooth; set aside.
- Stir-Fry Beef: Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the sliced beef and season with black pepper. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until browned but not fully cooked through. Remove the beef to a plate.
