Instructions

  1. Step 1: Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a large wok or skillet over high heat until shimmering. Add 1 lb thinly sliced flank steak and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until browned but still pink inside. Remove beef and set aside.
  2. Step 2: Add remaining 1 tbsp vegetable oil to the pan and add 4 cups broccoli florets. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until bright green and tender-crisp.
  3. Step 3: Add 1 tbsp grated fresh ginger and 3 minced garlic cloves to the broccoli and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  4. Step 4: Return the beef to the wok. Stir in 1/4 cup soy sauce, 2 tbsp brown sugar, 1 tbsp rice vinegar, and 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes if using. Cook for 1 minute.
  5. Step 5: Stir in 1 tsp cornstarch dissolved in 2 tbsp water and cook, stirring, for 1-2 minutes until sauce thickens and coats the beef and broccoli.
  6. Step 6: Remove from heat and garnish with 2 sliced green onions before serving.
