Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound (450g) flank steak or sirloin, thinly sliced against the grain
  • 4 cups (about 300g) fresh broccoli florets, washed and trimmed
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 1/4 cup (60ml) low sodium soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1/4 cup (60ml) beef broth or water
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons water
  • 2 stalks green onions, sliced thinly
  • Red pepper flakes, optional pinch

Instructions

  1. Thinly slice 1 pound (450g) of flank steak against the grain. Pat dry with paper towels.
  2. Toss beef in a bowl with 1 tablespoon soy sauce and cornstarch slurry (1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons water). Marinate for 10 minutes.
  3. Wash and trim 4 cups broccoli florets. Mince garlic and grate ginger.
  4. Whisk together 1/4 cup soy sauce, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, 1 teaspoon sesame oil (if using), minced garlic, and grated ginger to make the glaze.
  5. Heat 2 tablespoons vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
  6. Add beef in a single layer (in batches if needed) and sear 2-3 minutes per side until browned. Remove beef and set aside.
  7. In the same skillet, add more oil if needed and sauté broccoli for 2 minutes until bright green and slightly tender.
  8. Pour in 1/4 cup beef broth or water, cover, and steam broccoli for 3-4 minutes until tender but crisp.
  9. Remove lid, add beef back to skillet, pour ginger soy glaze over, and stir gently to coat. Bring to a simmer.
  10. Slowly stir in cornstarch slurry and cook 1-2 minutes until sauce thickens and becomes glossy.
  11. Remove from heat, garnish with sliced green onions and red pepper flakes if desired, and serve immediately.

Notes

Slice beef thinly against the grain for tenderness. Avoid overcrowding the skillet to ensure proper searing. Add the glaze after broccoli is cooked to prevent burning. Use cornstarch slurry to thicken sauce gradually. For gluten-free, substitute tamari for soy sauce and arrowroot powder for cornstarch.
