Make it saucier – For more gravy to spoon over rice, double the soy sauce, oyster sauce, and brown sugar, then stir in a teaspoon of cornstarch mixed with a tablespoon of water at the end.
Use a wok if you have one – A wok holds high heat better than a flat pan and gives the beef a better sear. No wok? Reach for the widest, heaviest skillet you own.
Add some heat – Stir in a spoonful of chili garlic sauce or a pinch of red pepper flakes along with the oyster sauce if you like it spicy.
Stretch the leftovers – Spoon any extra over lo mein noodles, or chop it and fold it into fried rice the next day for a quick second meal. You can have quick beef and broccoli lo mein with less effort.
