Easy beef with broccoli recipe

Takeout Beef With Broccoli 🥦

Meat
1 lbs Flank steak

Produce
4 cups Broccoli florets
4 cloves Garlic
1 tsp Ginger
2 Green onions

Condiments
1/2 cup Soy sauce, low-sodium

Baking & Spices
3/4 cup Brown sugar, dark
1/4 cup Cornstarch
1 Red pepper flakes
1 Sesame seeds

Oils & Vinegars
3 tbsp Olive oil
2 tbsp Sesame oil

Liquids
1/2 cup Water

To a large ziptop bag, add the steak, cornstarch, seal, and toss to coat. Set aside while preparing the sauce.

To a medium saucepan, add 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 tablespoon sesame oil, garlic, ginger, and heat over medium-high for about 1 minute, or just until garlic is fragrant, taking care not to scorch it.
Add the soy sauce, water, brown sugar, and stir until the sugar has dissolved. Bring to a boil and allow it to boil for about 2 to 3 minutes. Then reduce the heat to low and simmer for about 5 minutes, or until slightly thickened and reduced. While it simmers, sear the steak.
To a large skillet, add the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 tablespoon sesame oil, and the steak. Cook over medium-high or high heat until steak is cooked through, about 5 to 7 minutes, flipping the pieces intermittently to ensure even cooking.
Add the broccoli.
Evenly drizzle in the soy sauce mixture, noting it will bubble up dramatically. Toss the beef and broccoli to coat evenly with the sauce. Simmer for about 3 to 5 minutes at medium-high, or until the broccoli is as crisp tender as desired.

Optionally, evenly sprinkle with red pepper flakes (makes the dish taste more authentic and gives it flavor without adding much heat), optional sesame seeds, and serve immediately.
