While the beef is marinating, prepare the sauce. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup of beef broth, 1/4 cup of soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of brown sugar, 1 tablespoon of oyster sauce, 1 tablespoon of rice vinegar, 1 teaspoon of sesame oil, and 1 teaspoon of corn starch until well combined and the corn starch is dissolved.

Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large pan or wok over high heat. Add the marinated beef to the hot pan in a single layer, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Cook the beef until it is browned on all sides, about 2-3 minutes per side. Once cooked, remove the beef from the pan and set it aside on a plate.
