Equipment

  • large bowl
  • sauté pan
  • Slotted spoon

Ingredients
  

Sauce

  • ½ cup low sodium soy sauce
  • 3 Tablespoons packed light brown sugar
  • 1 Tablespoon minced garlic
  • 2 teaspoons grated fresh ginger

Beef and Vegetables

  • 3 Tablespoons cornstarch divided
  • 1 pound flank steak cut into thin 1-inch pieces
  • 2 Tablespoons vegetable oil divided
  • 4 cups small broccoli florets
  • ½ cup sliced white onions

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • In a large bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons cornstarch with 3 tablespoons water. Add the beef to the bowl and toss to combine.
  • In a separate small bowl, whisk together the remaining 1 tablespoon cornstarch with the soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic and ginger. Set the sauce aside.
  • Heat a large nonstick sauté pan over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of the vegetable oil and once it is hot, add the beef and cook, stirring constantly until the beef is almost cooked through. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the beef to a plate and set it aside.
  • Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to the pan and once it is hot, add the broccoli florets and sliced onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until the broccoli is tender, about 4 minutes.
  • Return the beef to the pan then add the prepared sauce. Bring the mixture to a boil and cook, stirring, for 1 minute or until the sauce thickens slightly. Serve with rice or noodles.

Notes

DON’T use regular soy sauce. Regular soy sauce will make this dish way too salty. Stir-frying is a fast-paced cooking method, so make your life easier by prepping all your ingredients before you start.
