Ingredients
- 1 pound flank steak sliced against the grain into thin strips
- 4 cups fresh broccoli florets
- 1 medium onion sliced
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger grated
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- ½ cup low-sodium soy sauce
- ¼ cup beef broth
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
Instructions
- Slice your beef while it's still slightly frozen. Place the sliced beef in a bowl and set aside.
- Whisk together all sauce ingredients in a medium bowl until the cornstarch is completely dissolved.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large wok or skillet over high heat. Add the beef in a single layer. Let it sear for 1-2 minutes, then stir-fry for another minute until just browned. Remove the beef and set aside.
- In the same pan, add the remaining oil. Toss in your broccoli and onion, stir-frying for about 3 minutes. Add garlic and ginger, cooking for another 30 seconds.
- Return the beef to the pan, then pour in your sauce mixture. Stir everything together and let it simmer for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens.
