Instructions
- Step 1: Heat 1 tbsp sesame oil in a large wok or skillet over high heat until shimmering. Add 12 oz thinly sliced flank steak and sear for 2-3 minutes until browned but still slightly pink. Remove beef and set aside.

- Step 3: Add 3 cups broccoli florets and toss for 3-4 minutes until bright green and tender-crisp.
- Step 4: Return the beef to the pan. Stir in 3 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tsp stevia or erythritol, 1/4 tsp red chili flakes, and 1/4 cup water. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until sauce thickens and coats the beef and broccoli.
