Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup soy sauce, 1 tbsp brown sugar, 1 tsp cornstarch, and 3 tbsp water until smooth; set aside.
  2. Step 2: Heat 1 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 slightly pink. Remove beef and set aside.
  3. Step 3: Add remaining 1 tbsp vegetable oil to the wok. Add 3 cups broccoli florets, 1 tbsp minced fresh ginger, and 3 minced garlic cloves. Stir-fry for 4-5 minutes until broccoli is bright green and tender-crisp.
  4. Step 4: Return beef to the wok, pour the soy sauce mixture over, and add 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes if using. Stir constantly for 1-2 minutes until sauce thickens and coats the beef and broccoli evenly.
  5. Step 5: Remove from heat and garnish with 2 sliced green onions before serving immediately over steamed rice or noodles.
