Ingredients

Beef Marinade:

  • 1 lb flank or skirt steak thinly sliced
  • 2 tbsp olive oil for frying the beef
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce low sodium
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch

Sauce:

  • 1/3 cup soy sauce low sodium
  • 1 tbsp shaoxing wine 
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 1 tbsp chilli oil or hot sauce of choice
  • 3 tbsp water
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar
  • 3 garlic cloves chopped fine
  • 1 tbsp fresh ginger chopped fine
  • 1/2 tsp chilli flakes

Broccoli:

  • 3 cups broccoli chopped
  • 2 cups water for steaming
  • sesame seeds optional for topping

Instructions

  • Begin by slicing your steak into bite sized pieces and add all of your beef marinade ingredients into a medium sized bowl. Mix well, and set aside while you prepare your sauce.
    *Don't add the olive oil, this is for frying.
  • Combine all of your sauce ingredients in a small bowl and mix well.
  • To a large frying pan add your chopped broccoli and water. Cover and let steam on medium heat for 2-4 minutes.
    *I don't like my broccoli very cooked so I only steam it for about two minutes.
  • Take the broccoli out of the frying pan and set it aside. Remove the water from the frying pan and dry it completely.
  • Add your olive oil to the pan and set to medium high heat. Fry your beef on each side for one to two minutes, just until it begins to brown.
  • Add your sauce to the beef and give it a good mix. Simmer for 3-5 minutes allowing the sauce to thicken.
  • Add your broccoli and give it one last mix.
  • Top with sesame seeds and enjoy right away!
