Ingredients
  

  • 1 ½ lbs flank steak sliced into ¼ inch strips
  • 4 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil divided
  • 2 tablespoons sesame seed oil divided
  • 4 garlic cloves minced
  • 2 teaspoons freshly grated ginger
  • ½ cup low-sodium soy sauce or ¼ regular soy sauce
  • ½ cup water
  • ¼ cup packed brown sugar
  • 5 cups broccoli florets
  • 3 green onions sliced
  • 2 teaspoons sriracha optional
  • Sesame seeds for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Combine the beef strips and the cornstarch together in a large zipper bag and toss until all the beef strips are well coated.


  • Make the sauce: In a medium-sized saucepan, heat one tablespoon of olive oil and one tablespoon of sesame seed oil, and saute the garlic and ginger until fragrant (about one minute).


  • Pour in the soy sauce, water, sugar, and Sriracha and simmer until the sugar dissolves and the sauce thickens a little.


  • Remove from heat and reserve. Heat the remaining tablespoon of olive and sesame seed oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and brown the beef strips evenly on all sides.


  • Add the broccoli florets and cook for about 3 more minutes. Pour the reserved sauce over the beef and broccoli and cook for an additional 5 minutes or until the sauce has thickened and the broccoli is cooked al dente.


  • Serve with freshly sliced green onions and sesame seeds on top.
