Beef with Broccoli

Ingredients

• 1½ lb flank steak
• 1½ lb broccoli florets
• ½ cup soy sauce
• ½ cup beef broth
• 2 tbsp cornstarch
• 1 tbsp sesame oil
• 1 tbsp ginger, minced
• 2 clove garlic, minced
• 1 tbsp brown sugar
• 2 tbsp vegetable oil
• 2 cup white rice (optional)

Steps

1. Slice the flank steak thinly against the grain. In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup soy sauce, 1 tablespoon cornstarch, and 1 tablespoon water. Add the beef and toss to coat.
2. In another bowl, whisk together the remaining 1/4 cup soy sauce, beef broth, 1 tablespoon cornstarch, sesame oil, ginger, garlic, and brown sugar to make the sauce.
3. Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the broccoli florets and stir-fry for 3-5 minutes until tender-crisp. Remove from skillet and set aside.
4. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon vegetable oil to the skillet. Add the marinated beef in a single layer and cook for 2-3 minutes per side until browned. Do not overcrowd; cook in batches if necessary.
5. Return all the cooked beef to the skillet. Pour the prepared sauce over the beef and bring to a simmer, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens.
6. Add the cooked broccoli back to the skillet and toss to coat everything evenly in the sauce.
7. Serve immediately, optionally over steamed white rice.
