Perfect for a satisfying weeknight meal, it brings together Asian-inspired flavors with minimal ingredients and straightforward steps.

Ingredients

Scale

Beef and Marinade

  • 1 lb flank steak, thinly sliced
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce (low sodium recommended)
  • 1 tablespoon garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated

Vegetables

  • 4 cups broccoli florets (fresh or frozen)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Beef: Thinly slice the flank steak against the grain to ensure tenderness during cooking.
  2. Heat the Skillet: Place a skillet over medium-high heat and add the sesame oil to warm it up, releasing its aroma.
  3. Cook the Beef: Add the sliced beef to the skillet and sauté for 3-4 minutes until the beef is evenly browned but not overcooked.
  4. Add Aromatics: Stir in the minced garlic and grated fresh ginger, cooking for an additional minute until fragrant to infuse the beef with rich flavor.
  5. Add Broccoli: Incorporate the broccoli florets into the skillet, stirring to combine evenly with the beef and aromatics.
  6. Season and Cook: Pour the soy sauce over the beef and broccoli mixture, then continue cooking for 3-5 minutes until the broccoli turns bright green and reaches a tender-crisp texture.
  7. Serve: Remove from heat and serve warm over cooked rice or noodles for a complete meal.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, marinate the beef in soy sauce, garlic, and ginger for 15-30 minutes before cooking.
  • Use low sodium soy sauce to control salt content.
  • Substitute flank steak with sirloin or skirt steak if preferred.
  • Fresh broccoli is ideal but frozen broccoli works well; if using frozen, thaw and drain excess moisture.
  • Add a sprinkle of toasted sesame seeds or chopped green onions for garnish.
  • Adjust cooking times slightly depending on your stove and skillet for optimal doneness.
