Ingredients
- 2 Tablespoons vegetable oil
- 2 pounds flank steak thinly sliced
- 2 Tablespoons cornstarch
- 3 Tablespoons cold water
- 2 cups broccoli chopped into bite size pieces
- 6 cups white rice cooked
- For the sauce:
- 1 Tablespoon cornstarch

Instructions
- Place the meat in a ziplock bag. Stir the cornstarch and cold water in a small bowl. Add this to the bag with the meat. Marinade for at least 20-30 minutes.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add the chopped broccoli onto the skillet. Sauté covered for 3-4 minutes until slightly tender. Then stir in the marinated beef. Sauté uncovered for an additional 3-4 minutes until the beef is cooked through and the broccoli is tender.
