Ingredients

  • 3 lb flank steak
  • 1/4 cup corn starch
  • 1/2 tsp ground ginger
  • 2 T garlic (minced)
  • 3/4 cup soy sauce
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 4 servings roasted broccoli or other stir fry veggies (snap peas, peppers, green beans, carrots)
  • 4 servings cooked rice
  • optional: scallions (for garnish)
  • optional: sesame seeds (for garnish)

Instructions

Prepare steak

  1. Pat flank steak dry and slice into bite sized pieces, slicing across the grain first. Toss with cornstarch in a bowl, set aside.

Make the sauce

  1. Stir together ginger, garlic, soy sauce, and brown sugar in a small bowl and set aside.
  2. Heat 2 tsp sesame oil or vegetable oil to high heat. Slowly add steak, maintaining high heat. Stir occasionally until steak is browned and cooked to desired doneness ~5 minutes.
  3. Turn heat down to medium and add sauce to pan. Bring to a boil and simmer until slightly thickened. Stir in broccoli.
  4. Serve over rice, or freeze in appropriate meal prep container.
  5. Garnish with scallions and sesame seeds before serving.

Recipe Notes

To Freeze:
If you're freezing this, I recommend freezing the steak separate from veggies, so that the sauce doesn't turn the veggies mushy. I usually make the rice on the day of, but you can also prep it and throw it in with the steak!
