Instructions

Step 1: In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup soy sauce, 2 tbsp brown sugar, 1 tbsp grated ginger, 4 minced garlic cloves, 1 tsp cornstarch, and 2 tbsp water until smooth; set aside.
Step 2: Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add 1 lb thinly sliced flank steak and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until browned but not fully cooked. Remove beef and set aside.
Step 3: In the same skillet, add 4 cups broccoli florets and sauté for 4-5 minutes until bright green and just tender.
Step 4: Return the beef to the skillet and pour the prepared sauce over the mixture. Add 1 tbsp sesame oil and 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes if using. Stir well and cook for another 2 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats the beef and broccoli.
Step 5: Remove from heat and garnish with 2 sliced green onions and 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds before serving.
