Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb flank steak
- 2 cups fresh broccoli florets
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
- 2 tbsp brown sugar
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
Instructions
- Marinate the Steak: Slice flank steak against the grain into thin strips. In a bowl, mix soy sauce, garlic, brown sugar, and sesame oil. Add steak strips and let marinate for at least 15 minutes.
- Prepare the Broccoli: Boil water in a pot, add broccoli florets, and blanch for 3 minutes until bright green. Drain and plunge into ice water to stop cooking.
- Cook the Steak: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Remove steak from marinade (reserve marinade) and sear in batches until browned on both sides, about 2 minutes each side.
- Create the Sauce: Pour reserved marinade into the skillet and simmer for about 3 minutes until slightly thickened.
- Combine Everything: Toss blanched broccoli with cooked steak and sauce in the skillet until well coated.
- Serve: Transfer to plates or serve family-style straight from the skillet.
