Ingredients
- 1 lb. flank steak cut into long, thin strips
- 2 Tablespoons sesame oil divided
- 1 lb. broccoli florets about 3 medium crowns
- 2 teaspoons sesame seeds optional
Stir Fry Sauce:
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/3 cup low-sodium soy sauce
- 3 Tablespoons honey
- 2 Tablespoons sesame oil
- 1 1/2 Tablespoons corn starch
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger grated
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- If serving rice with the stir fry, begin making it so it is ready when the stir fry is done.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the stir fry sauce ingredients. Whisk well to incorporate and dissolve the honey. Set sauce aside.
- To a large skillet or wok, add 1 tablespoon of the sesame oil and heat over medium-high heat. Add the broccoli and sauté for 4-5 minutes tossing frequently until broccoli is bright green and slightly tender. Transfer the sauteed broccoli to a bowl and cover to keep warm.
- In same skillet, add the last tablespoon of sesame oil and heat over medium high heat. Add the beef and brown for 3-4 minutes or just until cooked through. Drain off any excess fat the beef will render. Pour the sauce over the browned beef and reduce heat to medium-low. Stir often. Bring to a low simmer and heat for 3-4 minutes. Sauce will thicken. Add in the cooked broccoli and toss together with the sauce to coat.
- Serve with white, brown or cauliflower rice or noodles. Top with sesame seeds, if desired. (See post for suggested options.)
Notes
Don't go overboard with the ginger. One teaspoon of fresh grated ginger is adequate. Anything more and it will overpower the sauce flavor.
Sesame oil can be found in most grocery stores in the Asian foods section. I wouldn't recommend substituting this ingredient, as it adds a great flavor to the sauce.
Storage: refrigerate any leftovers in an airtight container. Will keep for up to 5 days refrigerated.
Meal Prep: This is a great meal prep recipe. For meal prepping, add in 1 cup of your preferred rice (cauliflower rice is a low-carb, healthy option) on the bottom of your meal prep container. Top with 1 1/2 cups (1 serving) of the beef and broccoli. Let cool before covering and refrigerating.
