Ingredients
  

1 lb flank steak, thinly sliced against the grain

4 cups broccoli florets

2 tablespoons olive oil, divided

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated

1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce

2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup

1 tablespoon rice vinegar

1 teaspoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons water (slurry)

1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

Salt and pepper to taste

Cooked brown rice or quinoa for serving

Sesame seeds for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Marinate the Beef: In a bowl, combine the sliced flank steak with 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, black pepper, and a pinch of salt. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.

    Prepare the Sauce: In a separate bowl, whisk together the remaining soy sauce, honey (or maple syrup), rice vinegar, and ginger. Set aside.

      Cook the Broccoli: Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the broccoli florets and stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes until they turn bright green and are tender but crisp. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

        Cook the Beef: In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Add the marinated beef and stir-fry for about 4-5 minutes until it’s brown and cooked through.

          Combine Ingredients: Add the minced garlic to the beef and cook for an additional minute. Pour the prepared sauce over the beef and bring it to a simmer. Stir in the cornstarch slurry, and cook for another minute until the sauce thickens.

            Add Broccoli: Return the cooked broccoli to the skillet and toss everything together until well combined. Cook for an additional minute to heat the broccoli through.

              Serve: Serve over a bed of cooked brown rice or quinoa and garnish with sesame seeds and red pepper flakes if desired.
