Ingredients
  

Main
  • 1 lb Flank steak, sliced thin against the grain
  • 3 cups Broccoli florets
  • 1/2 cup Low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1/3 cup Beef broth
  • 3 tbsp Brown sugar
  • 1 tbsp Sesame oil
  • 3 cloves Garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp Cornstarch (mixed with 1 tbsp water)

Method
 

Main
  1. In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, beef broth, brown sugar, sesame oil, and minced garlic.
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon of cooking oil in a large skillet or wok over high heat. Add the sliced flank steak and sear for 2-3 minutes until browned. Remove the beef and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, add the broccoli florets and 2 tablespoons of water. Cover and steam for 3-4 minutes until tender-crisp.
  4. Return the beef to the skillet. Pour in the sauce mixture and bring to a simmer.
  5. Stir in the cornstarch slurry and cook for 1-2 minutes until the sauce has beautifully thickened and coated the beef and broccoli. Serve hot over rice.
