Instructions

Step 1: In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tbsp hoisin sauce, 2 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp brown sugar, 1 tsp cornstarch, 1/4 cup water, 1 tsp grated fresh ginger, and 5 minced garlic cloves until smooth; set aside.
Step 2: Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add 1 lb thinly sliced flank steak and season with 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until browned but still tender. Remove beef and set aside.
Step 3: Add remaining 1 tbsp vegetable oil to the skillet and add 4 cups broccoli florets. Stir-fry for 4-5 minutes until bright green and just tender.
Step 4: Return beef to the skillet and pour in the prepared sauce. Stir continuously for 2-3 minutes until sauce thickens and evenly coats beef and broccoli.
Step 5: If desired, sprinkle 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes for a mild heat. Serve hot with steamed rice or noodles.
