Instructions

1. Step 1: In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tbsp gluten-free tamari sauce, 1 tbsp honey, 1 tsp cornstarch, and 3 tbsp water until smooth; set aside.
2. Step 2: Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add 12 oz thinly sliced flank steak and 1/2 tsp salt, stir-frying for 3-4 minutes until beef is browned but still tender. Remove beef from pan and set aside.
3. Step 3: In the same pan, add 3 cloves minced garlic and 1 tsp grated fresh ginger; sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant. Add 3 cups broccoli florets and stir-fry for 4-5 minutes until bright green and tender-crisp.
4. Step 4: Return beef to pan and pour the tamari sauce mixture over. Stir constantly for 2 minutes until sauce thickens and coats beef and broccoli beautifully.
5. Step 5: Drizzle 1 tsp sesame oil and sprinkle 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes if using. Toss gently and remove from heat. Serve immediately over steamed rice or noodles if desired.
