Instructions

1Preparation

17m

Start Rice

Start cooking white rice first so it's ready when the stir fry is done.

Prep Steak

Cover and freeze steak for 30 minutes for easier slicing, then thinly slice against the grain into bite-sized strips.

2Make Sauce

Combine Ingredients

Combine all stir fry sauce ingredients in a bowl. Stir well to dissolve the sugar and set aside.

3Cook Broccoli

Sauté Broccoli

Place a large skillet over medium heat and add 1 Tbsp olive oil. Add broccoli florets and sauté for 4-5 minutes, partially covered with a lid, stirring or tossing several times until the broccoli is bright green and crisp-tender. Remove from pan.

4Cook Beef

Sear Beef

Increase heat to high. Add the remaining 1 Tbsp olive oil to the skillet. Add beef in a single layer and sauté for 2 minutes per side, or just until cooked through. Quickly pull out a piece to test for doneness.

5Combine and Finish

Add Sauce

Add the prepared stir fry sauce to the skillet. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 3-4 minutes until the sauce thickens.

Combine

Add the cooked broccoli back to the skillet and stir to combine with the beef and sauce. Stir in 1-2 Tbsp water to thin the sauce if desired.

Serve

Serve immediately over white rice.

Tips

For easier slicing, freeze the flank steak for 30 minutes before cutting it thinly against the grain.

If you prefer softer broccoli, add 2 tablespoons of water to the skillet before covering it to steam the broccoli.

You can substitute or add other vegetables like snap peas, bell peppers, carrots, or mushrooms.
