Ingredients
- 1 pound flank steak, thinly sliced against the grain
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- 1/2 teaspoon grated ginger
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 pound broccoli florets
- 1/4 cup water
- Cooked rice or noodles, for serving (optional)
Instructions
- Prep (5 minutes): In a bowl, whisk together cornstarch and 1 tablespoon water. Add the steak and toss to coat. Combine soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic, and ginger in a separate bowl.
- Cook (15 minutes): Heat oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the steak and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until desired doneness. Remove from the pan and set aside.
- Add broccoli: Add the broccoli florets to the pan and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until tender-crisp.
- Make the sauce: Pour the soy sauce mixture into the pan with the broccoli. Stir in the remaining 1/4 cup water and bring to a simmer. Cook for 1-2 minutes, or until the sauce thickens slightly.
- Serve: Return the steak to the pan and toss to coat with the sauce. Serve immediately over cooked rice or noodles, if desired.
Notes
You can substitute flank steak with other thin cuts like skirt steak or sirloin steak. For a spicier dish, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the sauce. If you don’t have fresh ginger, you can use 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger instead. Serve with steamed vegetables or a side salad for a more complete meal.
Enjoy this quick and easy steak and broccoli stir-fry for a delicious and satisfying dinner!
