Beef and Broccoli Recipe

Slice the steak very thinly across the grain.

For the sauce, in a small bowl, whisk together water, soy sauce, brown sugar, cornstarch, sesame oil, and chili flakes. Set aside.

Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add half of the beef and cook until browned on both sides. Transfer to a plate and repeat with remaining beef.

Add the broccoli and cook for 3 to 4 minutes, stirring frequently, until it turns bright green.

Stir in the garlic, ginger, and the white parts of the green onions. Cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.

Whisk the sauce again and pour it into the skillet and stir well. Bring to a simmer and cook until slightly thickened and the broccoli is tender, about 3 to 4 minutes.

Return the beef and any juices to the skillet. Stir until the beef and broccoli are evenly coated and heated through.

Garnish with the green parts of the onions and sesame seeds, if using, and serve hot over rice.
