Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 pound flank steak, thinly sliced against the grain Can substitute with chicken or tofu.
  • 3 cups broccoli, cut into florets Bok choy is a good alternative if you prefer.
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce Use tamari for a gluten-free option.
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated Adds warmth.
  • 2 tablespoons sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch For thickening the sauce.
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil For stir-frying.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Slice the beef thinly and cut the broccoli into bite-sized pieces.
  2. In a bowl, combine the sliced beef with soy sauce, cornstarch, and garlic. Let it marinate for about 10 minutes.
Cooking
  1. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the marinated beef in a single layer.
  2. Cook the beef for 2-3 minutes without stirring to achieve a nice sear. Then, flip and cook until it's just browned but not fully cooked.
  3. Toss in the broccoli florets and pour in the sesame oil. Stir-fry for an additional 3-4 minutes until the broccoli is tender yet still crisp.
  4. Add the ginger and adjust seasoning with more soy sauce if desired. Stir everything to combine for another minute.
  5. Transfer to a serving dish and serve.

Notes

Serve over white rice or noodles. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat on low heat with a splash of water.
