Mongolian Beef with Broccoli
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 1 pound flank steak, sliced into thin strips
- 1/4 cup cornstarch
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
- 1/2 cup low-sodium soy sauce
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 2 green onions, sliced

Instructions
- In a large bowl, toss the sliced flank steak with 1/4 cup of cornstarch until evenly coated.
- In a wok or large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil over high heat. Add the coated steak strips and cook until browned and crispy, about 3-4 minutes. Remove the steak from the wok and set aside.
- In the same wok, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger, and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.

- Add the broccoli florets to the wok and cook for 2-3 minutes until tender-crisp.
- Return the cooked steak to the wok and toss to coat with the sauce and broccoli. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to heat through.
- Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds, if desired.
