Beef and Broccoli
Description
This recipe begins by coating flank steak slices with cornstarch and seasoning with salt and pepper. The steak is seared over medium-high heat until nearly cooked. Separately, broccoli florets and chopped onion are cooked in sesame oil until tender yet still crisp. The beef is returned to the pan, and a sauce combining soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, fresh ginger, optional orange zest, and cornstarch is poured over. Stirring the mixture allows the sauce to thicken and coat the beef and vegetables, creating a glossy finish with balanced savory and sweet notes.
The finished dish is garnished with sesame seeds, red pepper flakes, and sliced scallions. It pairs naturally with steamed rice or noodles for a complete meal.
Ingredients
For the beef:
- 1 ½ lbs. flank steak sliced into thin 1-inch pieces
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- salt to taste, Kosher salt

Instructions
- Place the flank steak pieces in a large bowl and add the cornstarch. Toss until the pieces are well coated. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, garlic, orange zest (If using), ginger, and cornstarch. Set aside.
- In a large skillet or wok, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the steak and cook, stirring occasionally, until the meat is almost cooked through. Transfer to a clean plate and set aside.
