Ingredients
  

Main
  • 1 lb Flank steak, thinly sliced against the grain
  • 4 cups Broccoli florets
  • 2 tbsp Vegetable oil
  • 1/2 cup Beef broth (low sodium)
  • 1/3 cup Soy sauce (low sodium)
  • 2 tbsp Brown sugar
  • 1 tbsp Sesame oil
  • 3 cloves Garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp Fresh ginger, grated
  • 1 tbsp Cornstarch

Method
 

Main
  1. In a small bowl, whisk together the beef broth, soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, and cornstarch until completely smooth. Set aside.
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large wok or skillet over high heat. Add the broccoli florets and 2 tablespoons of water. Cover and steam for 3 minutes until crisp-tender. Remove the broccoli to a plate.
  3. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to the hot wok. Add the thinly sliced flank steak in a single layer. Sear for 1-2 minutes per side until browned.
  4. Return the cooked broccoli to the wok with the beef.
  5. Give the sauce mixture a quick stir (the cornstarch will have settled) and pour it over the beef and broccoli.
  6. Toss everything together over medium-high heat for 1-2 minutes until the sauce bubbles and thickens into a glossy glaze.
  7. Serve immediately over hot jasmine rice or noodles!
