Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a bowl, combine 1 lb thinly sliced flank steak, 2 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp cornstarch, 1 tbsp rice vinegar, and 1 tbsp sugar. Toss to coat and let marinate for 10 minutes.
  2. Step 2: Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat until shimmering.
  3. Step 3: Add the marinated beef and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until browned on the outside but still slightly pink inside. Remove beef and set aside.
  4. Step 4: Add 3 cups broccoli florets and 1 sliced red bell pepper to the skillet. Stir-fry for 4 minutes until broccoli is bright green and crisp-tender.
  5. Step 5: Return the beef to the skillet. Add 1/4 cup water, 1 minced garlic clove, and 1 tsp grated ginger. Stir to combine.
  6. Step 6: Cook for 2 more minutes until sauce thickens and coats the ingredients. Stir in 1 tbsp sesame oil.
  7. Step 7: Garnish with 1/4 cup sliced green onions and serve immediately.
