Beef and Broccoli Ingredients

  • 1 lb flank steak very thinly sliced into bite-sized strips
  • 2 tablespoon olive oil (or vegetable oil), divided
  • 1 lb fresh broccoli (cut into 6 cups of florets)
  • 2 teaspoon sesame seeds optional garnish

Stir Fry Sauce Ingredients

  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger grated (loosely packed)
  • 2 teaspoon garlic grated (from 3 cloves)
  • ½ cup hot water
  • 6 tablespoon low sodium soy sauce (or GF Tamari)
  • 3 tablespoon packed light brown sugar
  • 1 ½ tablespoon corn starch
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoon sesame oil

Instructions

  • Start cooking white rice first so it's ready when the stir fry is done. Cover and freeze steak 30 minutes for easier slicing, then thinly slice against the grain.
  • Combine all stir fry sauce ingredients in a bowl, stir well to dissolve the sugar, and set aside.
  • Place a large skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon oil. Add broccoli florets and sauté 4-5 minutes, partially covered with lid, stirring several times until broccoli is bright green and crisp-tender then remove from pan.
  • Increase heat to high heat and add 1 tablespoon oil. Add beef in a single layer and sauté 2 minutes per side or just until cooked through. Quickly pull out a piece to test for doneness.
  • Add the sauce, reduce heat to medium/low and simmer 3-4 minutes. It will thicken. Add broccoli and stir to combine. Stir in 1-2 tablespoon water to thin the sauce if desired. Serve over white rice.

Notes

For more steak options, consider Top Sirloin Steak, Top Round Steak, Tri-Tip Steak, or Ribeye. For best results, use fresh vegetables, not frozen, and feel free to substitute or add other veggies such as snap peas, bell peppers, carrots, and mushrooms.
