Instructions

Step 1: In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup soy sauce, 1 tbsp sesame oil, 1 tbsp brown sugar, 1 tsp cornstarch, and 1/4 cup water until smooth; set aside.
Step 2: Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a large wok or skillet over high heat. Add 1 lb thinly sliced flank steak and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until browned but slightly pink inside. Remove beef and set aside.
Step 3: Add remaining 1 tbsp vegetable oil to the wok and stir-fry 4 cups broccoli florets with 1 tbsp grated fresh ginger and 3 minced garlic cloves for 4-5 minutes until broccoli is bright green and crisp-tender.
Step 4: Return beef to the wok and pour the prepared sauce over. Stir-fry together for 2-3 minutes until sauce thickens and coats beef and broccoli evenly. Sprinkle 1 tbsp sesame seeds on top and serve over 4 cups cooked jasmine rice.
