• servings: 4 servings
• active time: 10 minutes
• total time: 20 minutes

Ingredients

3 Tablespoons cornstarch, divided

1 pound flank steak, cut into thin 1-inch pieces

1/2 cup low sodium soy sauce

3 Tablespoons packed light brown sugar

1 Tablespoon minced garlic

2 teaspoons grated fresh ginger

2 Tablespoons vegetable oil, divided

4 cups small broccoli florets

1/2 cup sliced white onions

Directions

In a large bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons cornstarch with 3 tablespoons water. Add the beef to the bowl and toss to combine.

In a separate small bowl, whisk together the remaining 1 tablespoon cornstarch with the soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic and ginger. Set the sauce aside.

Heat a large nonstick sauté pan over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of the vegetable oil and once it is hot, add the beef and cook, stirring constantly until the beef is almost cooked through. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the beef to a plate and set it aside.

Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to the pan and once it is hot, add the broccoli florets and sliced onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until the broccoli is tender, about 4 minutes. (See Kelly’s Notes.)

Return the beef to the pan then add the prepared sauce. Bring the mixture to a boil and cook, stirring, for 1 minute or until the sauce thickens slightly. Serve with rice or noodles.
