Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tsp brown sugar, 1 tsp cornstarch, 1/4 cup water, and 1/4 tsp black pepper until smooth and set aside.
  2. Step 2: Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over low flame. Add 1 lb thinly sliced flank steak and cook, stirring occasionally, for 4 minutes until just browned but still tender.
  3. Step 3: Add 2 tbsp julienned fresh ginger and 3 minced garlic cloves to the pan, stirring for 1 minute until fragrant.
  4. Step 4: Toss in 2 cups broccoli florets and stir fry for 3 minutes until bright green and slightly tender.
  5. Step 5: Pour the prepared sauce over the beef and vegetables, stirring gently for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats all ingredients evenly.
  6. Step 6: Drizzle 1 tbsp sesame oil over the stir-fry, toss once more, and remove from heat immediately to preserve flavor and texture.
