“Better than takeout. Thinly sliced beef cooks in literal minutes while remaining incredibly tender.”

1Ingredients

1 lb flank steak, sliced very thinly against the grain
3 cups broccoli florets
2 tbsp vegetable oil, divided
⅓ cup soy sauce
2 tbsp brown sugar
1 tbsp sesame oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tbsp cornstarch mixed with 2 tbsp cold water

2Instructions

1

In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, garlic, and cornstarch-water mixture to make the sauce.

2

Heat 1 tbsp vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over high heat. Add thinly sliced beef in a single layer. Sear 1–2 minutes per side until browned. Remove to a plate.

3

Add remaining 1 tbsp oil and broccoli. Stir-fry 1 minute, then add a splash of water, cover, and steam 2 minutes until tender-crisp.

4

Return beef to the skillet.

5

Pour sauce mixture over beef and broccoli.

6

Stir continuously 1–2 minutes until sauce is bubbling, thick, and coats everything evenly. Serve immediately.

Pro Tip

To slice flank steak ultra-thin, place it in the freezer for 15–20 minutes before slicing. The firm texture makes it much easier to cut cleanly.
