Beef and Broccoli Stir-Fry

Ingredients

• 1 lb flank steak, thinly sliced against the grain
• 2 cups broccoli florets
• 0.25 cup soy sauce
• 2 tbsp brown sugar
• 1 tbsp fresh ginger, minced
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tbsp cornstarch
• 2 tbsp vegetable oil
• 1 tsp sesame oil
• 2 tbsp water

Steps

1. In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, brown sugar, minced ginger, garlic, and cornstarch until smooth to create the sauce.
2. Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over high heat until shimmering.
3. Add the sliced beef in a single layer and sear until browned, about 2 minutes per side. Remove the beef from the pan and set aside.
4. Add the remaining tablespoon of oil to the pan. Add the broccoli florets and 2 tablespoons of water. Cover with a lid and steam for 2 minutes until bright green and tender-crisp.
5. Return the beef to the pan and pour the sauce over the mixture.
6. Toss everything together for 1-2 minutes until the sauce has thickened and coats the beef and broccoli. Drizzle with sesame oil and serve hot over rice.
