  • Total Time: 25 minutes
  • Yield: Serves 4

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb beef flank steak, thinly sliced against the grain
  • 4 cups fresh broccoli florets
  • 1-inch piece fresh ginger, grated
  • 4 garlic cloves, crushed
  • ¼ cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1 tsp brown sugar
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 2 tsp cornstarch
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil (for stir-frying)
  • ½ cup water or chicken broth

Instructions

  1. Slice the flank steak thinly against the grain. Chop broccoli into bite-sized florets.
  2. In a bowl, mix together soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, and grated ginger to create the marinade.
  3. Toss the sliced beef in half of the marinade and let it sit for 15 minutes.
  4. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Stir-fry broccoli until bright green and tender-crisp (about 3-4 minutes). Remove from pan and set aside.
  5. In the same skillet, add more oil if necessary and stir-fry marinated beef until browned (about 4-5 minutes).
  6. Pour any remaining marinade along with water or broth into the pan and simmer until slightly thickened.
  7. Add broccoli back to the skillet with cooked beef, tossing everything to coat in the sauce. Serve hot over steamed rice or noodles.
