Ingredients
- 1 pound beef flank steak
- 4 cups broccoli florets
- 1/3 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons sesame oil
- 4 cloves garlic
- 1 tablespoon ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1/4 cup water
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 stalks green onions
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Slice beef flank steak thinly against the grain into bite-sized strips.
Step 2
In a medium bowl, combine sliced beef with soy sauce, sesame oil, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.
Step 3
While the beef is marinating, cut the broccoli into bite-sized florets if not pre-cut. Also, thinly slice the green onions.
Step 4
In a small bowl, mix cornstarch with water until dissolved to create a slurry, then set aside.
Step 5
Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and swirl it around to coat.
Step 6
Add broccoli florets to the skillet and stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes until they are bright green and slightly tender. Remove broccoli from the skillet and set aside.
Step 7
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the marinated beef (discarding excess marinade) to the skillet in a single layer.
Step 8
Cook beef strips for 3-4 minutes until browned and cooked through. Stir continuously for even cooking.
Step 9
Return the broccoli to the skillet with the beef. Pour the cornstarch slurry over the mixture, then sprinkle with red pepper flakes and black pepper.
Step 10
Stir everything together for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens and evenly coats the beef and broccoli.
Step 11
Garnish with sliced green onions before serving.
Step 12
Serve the stir-fry hot and enjoy your low-carb meal!
