Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup soy sauce, 1 tbsp brown sugar, 1 tsp cornstarch, 1/4 cup water, 2 tsp sesame oil, 4 minced garlic cloves, 1 tbsp grated fresh ginger, and 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes if using. Set aside.
  2. Step 2: Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over high heat until shimmering. Add 1 lb thinly sliced flank steak and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until browned but still slightly pink inside. Remove beef and set aside.
  3. Step 3: Add remaining 1 tbsp vegetable oil to the skillet. Add 4 cups broccoli florets and stir-fry for 4-5 minutes until bright green and tender-crisp.
  4. Step 4: Return beef to the skillet and pour the prepared sauce over. Stir everything together and cook for another 2 minutes until sauce thickens and coats beef and broccoli.
  5. Step 5: Remove from heat and garnish with 2 sliced green onions. Serve immediately over steamed rice or noodles.
