Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp rice vinegar, 1 tsp grated fresh ginger, 2 minced garlic cloves, 1/4 cup water, and 1 tbsp cornstarch to make the sauce.
  2. Step 2: Heat 3 tbsp sesame oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
  3. Step 3: Add the 12 oz thinly sliced flank steak and cook for 2-3 minutes until browned on the outside but still pink inside; remove and set aside.
  4. Step 4: Add the 2 cups broccoli florets to the skillet and stir-fry for 4-5 minutes until crisp-tender.
  5. Step 5: Return the steak to the skillet and pour in the sauce mixture; cook for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats the beef and broccoli.
  6. Step 6: Stir in 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes (if using) and serve immediately.
