Ingredients
Scale
- 1.5 lbs Flank steak or Top Sirloin, thinly sliced against the grain
- 4 cups Broccoli florets, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1/2 cup Low-sodium soy sauce or tamari
- 1/2 cup Beef broth
- 2 tablespoons Honey or brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon Fresh ginger, grated
- 2 tablespoons Sesame oil
- 1/2 teaspoon Red pepper flakes (optional)
- Sesame seeds and sliced green onions for garnish
Instructions
- Whisk the Sauce: In a medium bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, beef broth, honey, cornstarch, minced garlic, and grated ginger until the cornstarch is fully dissolved. Set this mixture aside for later use.
- Sear the Beef: Heat one tablespoon of sesame oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the sliced beef in a single layer. Cook for 2-3 minutes until browned on all sides. Remove the beef from the pan and set it aside on a plate.
- Steam the Broccoli: Add the remaining tablespoon of sesame oil to the same skillet. Toss in the broccoli florets and add two tablespoons of water. Cover with a lid for 2-3 minutes to steam the broccoli until it becomes bright green and slightly tender.
- Combine and Thicken: Pour the sauce mixture into the skillet with the broccoli. Bring the liquid to a simmer. Once the sauce begins to thicken and turn glossy, add the cooked beef back into the pan. Toss everything together to ensure the beef and broccoli are well-coated.
- Garnish and Serve: Once the sauce is thick and the meat is heated through, remove the skillet from the heat. Sprinkle with sesame seeds, green onions, and red pepper flakes if you prefer a bit of heat.
