Instructions

Step 1: In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup low sodium soy sauce, 1 tbsp dark brown sugar, 1/2 tsp red chili flakes, 1 tbsp cornstarch, and 3 tbsp water until smooth.
Step 2: Heat 2 tbsp sesame oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add 1 lb thinly sliced flank steak and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until browned but still tender. Remove steak and set aside.
Step 3: In the same skillet, add 1 tbsp minced fresh ginger and 3 minced garlic cloves, sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Step 4: Add 3 cups broccoli florets and stir-fry for 4-5 minutes until bright green and just tender.
Step 5: Return the beef to the skillet, pour in the prepared sauce, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens and coats the beef and broccoli, about 2 minutes.
Step 6: Remove from heat and garnish with 2 tbsp sliced green onions before serving.
