Instructions

1. Step 1: Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add 12 oz sliced flank steak, season with 1/2 tsp sea salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper, and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring constantly, until browned but still slightly pink in the center.
2. Step 2: Push beef to one side of the skillet. Add 2 minced garlic cloves and 1 tbsp grated ginger to the empty space, stirring for 30 seconds until fragrant and golden—do not burn.
3. Step 3: Add 2 cups broccoli florets to the skillet, tossing with the garlic-ginger mixture. Cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until broccoli is crisp-tender and bright green, adding a splash of water if needed to create steam. Return beef to the skillet, toss to combine, and cook for 1 more minute until heated through.
