Ingredients

1 pound Flank or Ribeye steak cut into thin slices
2 tablespoons Olive oil
4 cups Broccoli fresh or frozen but partially thawed is okay
Sesame seeds optional to garnish

Stir Fry Sauce

6 tablespoons Soy sauce
1/2 cup Water warm
3 cloves Garlic finely minced or grated
1 teaspoon Ginger powder
3 tablespoons Brown sugar
2 tablespoons Sesame oil
1 1/2 tablespoons Corn starch
1 teaspoon Black pepper

Instructions

Mix all of the stir fry sauce ingredients in a medium bowl, and set it aside.
Freeze the steak for about 20-30 minutes before slicing to help cut it easier. Once the steak is sliced, add 1 tablespoon of the olive oil to your wok or skillet and heat it over medium high.
If you are using frozen broccoli, flash cook it in the microwave for one minute to help defrost it. Get rid of any extra liquid. Add the broccoli into hot oil and saute for 2-3 minutes.
If using fresh broccoli, increase the time to 4-5 minutes for a tender crisp texture. Stir occasionally so that it does not burn. Remove the broccoli and set it aside in a bowl.
Increase the heat to high and add the other tablespoon of olive oil into the pot. Next add the beef in one single layer.
Saute the beef for about 2 minutes per side, or until it is cooked evenly. Taste a piece to see if it is done to your liking, (remember it will continue cooking in the sauce).
Reduce the heat to medium-low and pour the stir fry sauce into the pan and stir it around for about one minute, or until it begins to thicken a bit.
Add the broccoli back into the skillet and gently mix it until everything is combined. Serve over cooked rice and sprinkle with the sesame seeds for garnish.

Notes

If sauce gets too thick, add one tablespoon of water at a time until you reach your desired consistency.
