Instructions
- Step 1: In a small bowl, combine 3 tbsp tamari sauce, 1 tsp cornstarch, and 1/4 cup water. Stir until the cornstarch is fully dissolved and set aside.
- Step 2: Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over high heat until shimmering. Add 12 oz thinly sliced flank steak and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until browned but still tender. Remove beef from skillet and set aside.
- Step 3: Add 1 tbsp sesame oil to the same skillet. Add 1 tbsp minced fresh ginger and 2 minced garlic cloves, sautéing for 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Step 4: Add 3 cups broccoli florets and stir-fry for 4-5 minutes until bright green and crisp-tender.
- Step 5: Return the beef to the skillet and pour in the tamari-cornstarch mixture. Stir continuously for 2 minutes until the sauce thickens and evenly coats the beef and broccoli.
- Step 6: Sprinkle 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes if using, toss once more, and remove from heat. Serve immediately with steamed rice or cauliflower rice for a gluten-free meal.
