Ingredients

For the sauce:
  • 3 garlic cloves minced - I used frozen
  • 1/2 cup hot water (120g)
  • 1/3 cup low sodium soy sauce (80g)
  • 3 Tbsp brown sugar (36g)
  • 2 Tbsp cornstarch (16g)
  • 1 Tbsp sesame oil (15g)

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. In a small bowl, combine the minced garlic, hot water, soy sauce, brown sugar, cornstarch and sesame oil. Whisk to combine and set aside.
  2. Add 1/2 Tbsp of olive oil and set to medium-high heat. Add the broccoli and cook for 5-6 minutes, or until it begins to soften. Then remove from the skillet and set aside (skip this step if using frozen broccoli).
  3. Add the remaining 1/2 Tbsp of olive oil to the skillet. Add steak and cook at medium-high heat for 2-3 minutes until no longer pink.
  4. Pour the sauce over the beef and bring the sauce to a light simmer.
  5. Add broccoli back to the skillet. Toss everything to combine and continue to cook for about 5 minutes or until the sauce begins to thicken. Serve with rice and sprinkle with sesame seeds to serve. Enjoy!

Notes

  • Tips For Slicing Flank Steak:
  • Freeze your beef. Place the steak in the freezer for up to 30 minutes before slicing. This allows for easier uniform slicing.
  • Cut across the grain. Look at the flank steak as a whole and determine which direction the muscle fibers are running. Then line your knife up perpendicularly (your knife should make a T with the fibers, so that you’ll be cutting through the fibers, not parallel to them) and slice. 
  • Slice your steak in thin strips. Slicing flank steak in thin strips cuts through the tough fibers helping you get a more tender, easier-to-eat bite of meat. 
  • Use a sharp knife. Using a sharp knife helps ensure the cleanest cut of beef.
