Ingredients
- 1 lb flank steak
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 head broccoli
- 1 tbsp sesame seeds
Sauce
- 1 tsp grated ginger
- 2 tsp minced garlic
- 1 tsp rice vinegar
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/2 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 3 tbsp cornstarch
- 1/4 tsp ground pepper
- 2 tbsp sesame oil
Instructions
- Slice the steak into thin pieces, going against the grain of the meat.
- In a mixing bowl, combine all of the sauce ingredients: ginger, garlic, water, soy sauce, rice vinegar, brown sugar, cornstarch, ground pepper, and sesame oil. Mix until smooth and combined.
- Chop the broccoli head into smaller, bite-sized chunks.
- In a large frypan over medium-high heat, add 1 tbsp olive oil and the broccoli. Place a lid on top and cook for 5 minutes to soften the broccoli. When done, remove the broccoli from the pan and set aside.
- Add the remaining 1 tbsp olive oil to the same pan. Add the beef slices to the pan and cook 2 minutes per side, or until cooked through. When done cooking, remove from the pan and set aside with the broccoli.
- Add the mixed sauce ingredients and bring to a simmer. Cook until it thickens (about 5 minutes).
- Add the broccoli and beef back to the pan and toss in the sauce. Serve warm.
