Instructions

Step 1: In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp honey, 1 tbsp rice vinegar, 1 tbsp minced fresh ginger, 2 minced garlic cloves, 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes, and 1 tsp cornstarch mixed with 2 tbsp water until smooth.
Step 2: Heat 1 tbsp vegetable oil in a large skillet over high heat. Add 12 oz thinly sliced flank steak and sauté for 2-3 minutes until browned but not fully cooked. Remove steak and set aside.
Step 3: In the same skillet, add 1 tbsp sesame oil and 4 cups broccoli florets. Stir-fry for 4-5 minutes until broccoli is bright green and just tender.
Step 4: Return beef to the skillet, pour the sauce over, and stir-fry together for another 2 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats the beef and broccoli.
Step 5: Drizzle with remaining 1 tbsp sesame oil, sprinkle 2 thinly sliced green onions and 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds on top, and serve immediately.
