25 min4 servings

Ingredients

  • 1.5 lb flank steak · thinly sliced against the grain
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • 3 clove garlic · minced
  • 1 tbsp fresh ginger · grated
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 2 piece bell peppers · sliced
  • 2 cup broccoli florets
  • 1 tsp sesame oil

Directions

  1. 1

    Mix the sauce

    Whisk together the soy sauce, brown sugar, cornstarch, minced garlic, and grated ginger in a small bowl until smooth.

  2. 2

    Sear the beef

    Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet for this one-pan meal over high heat. Add the sliced beef in a single layer and cook until browned, about 3 minutes. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.

  3. 3

    Cook the vegetables

    Add the sliced bell peppers and broccoli florets to the same skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are crisp-tender, about 4 minutes.

  4. 4

    Combine and thicken

    Return the cooked beef to the skillet with the vegetables. Pour the sauce mixture over everything and toss to combine. Cook for 2 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats the ingredients.

  5. 5

    Finish and serve

    Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the sesame oil. Serve immediately.
