Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb flank steak, thinly sliced
- 2 cups fresh broccoli florets
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated
- 4 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
- 1 tbsp brown sugar
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil (divided)
Instructions
- Slice the flank steak against the grain into thin strips. Wash and cut broccoli into bite-sized florets. Mince garlic and grate ginger.
- In a bowl, combine sliced beef with 2 tablespoons soy sauce, cornstarch, and half of the minced garlic. Marinate for 15 minutes.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add broccoli and stir-fry for about 3 minutes until bright green and tender-crisp. Remove from the pan.
- In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of oil if needed. Add marinated beef in a single layer; cook without stirring for 2 minutes until browned, then stir-fry until cooked through.
- Return broccoli to the skillet with remaining garlic, ginger, and any leftover marinade mixed with brown sugar. Stir well to combine all ingredients.
- Serve hot over steamed rice or noodles.
