Created on 12/14/2018

Ingredients:

  • 2 lbs flank steak, sliced very thin
  • 4 cups broccoli, cut into bite-size pieces
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 cup hot water
  • 5 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
  • 3 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 3 teaspoons cornstarch
  • 3 tablespoons sesame oil

Instructions

Step one:

In a bowl combine together pressed garlic, hot water, soy sauce, brown sugar, cornstarch and sesame oil. Whisk to combine and set aside.

Step two:

On medium heat, preheat a skillet with 1 tbsp of olive oil. Add sliced broccoli, cook, until it softens. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

Step three:

Slice beef into long, thin strips. Add 1 tbsp of olive oil to the same skillet where you cooked the broccoli. Add beef until it gets golden brown.

Step four:

Pour sauce over the beef, and bring the sauce to a light simmer.

Step five:

Add broccoli back to the skillet. Stir to combine everything together, and cook it for about 3 minutes.

Step six:

Serve beef & broccoli while it’s still hot. It pairs well with rice.
