Ingredients

• 1 pound of flank steak, thinly sliced against the grain
• 4 cups of broccoli florets (fresh or frozen)
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil (or sesame oil)
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced (or 1 teaspoon ground ginger)
• 1/2 cup soy sauce (low-sodium recommended)

1. In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, cornstarch, brown sugar, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and red pepper flakes (if using). Set aside.
2. In a large skillet or wok, heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.
3. Add the sliced flank steak to the hot pan and cook for about 2-3 minutes until browned. Remove the beef from the pan and set aside.
