Ingredients

• 1 lb flank steak, thinly sliced against the grain
• 3 cups broccoli florets
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 2 cloves garlic, minced

Instructions

1. In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, rice vinegar, brown sugar, ketchup, cornstarch, water, sesame oil, and red pepper flakes. Set aside.
2. Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a wok or large skillet over high heat. Add beef in a single layer and sear for 2-3 minutes until browned. Remove beef and set aside.
