Ingredients
- 1 pound flank steak
- 2 Tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 Tablespoons cornstarch
- 2 Tablespoons cooking oil
- 2 cups broccoli florets

Sauce:
- ½ cup soy sauce
- 3 Tablespoons brown sugar
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon ginger
- 2 Tablespoons sesame seeds toasted
Instructions
- Cut beef thinly across the grain (no more than ½ inch thick, 2 inch long strips). Place it in a freezer bag (or medium bowl). Stir in 2 Tablespoons of soy sauce and the 2 Tablespoons cornstarch and set aside. Allow this to marinate at room temperature for at least 30 minutes.
- Prepare the vegetables and set aside.
- Prepare the sauce: Whisk together ½ cup soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic powder, and ginger. Set this aside.
- Heat the oil to high heat in a large deep skillet or wok.
- Add half of the meat to the skillet and fry for 3 minutes. Remove this meat from the skillet and fry the other half. Then remove it from the skillet. (You don’t want to crowd the meat or it will not sear properly.)
- Add the vegetables (except the green onions) to the skillet and fry for 2 minutes.
- Then add the beef back to the skillet. Stir in the sauce and heat through.
- Sprinkle the green onions and toasted sesame seeds over top.
- Serve over noodles or rice.
