INGREDIENTS
1 tbsp cooking oil
1 lb flank steak, sliced into 1/4” thick strips
5 cloves garlic, minced

1/2 c. beef broth

2 tsp cornstarch
1/4 c. brown sugar
1/2 c. low-sodium soy sauce
How to make Crazy Good Beef And Broccoli
Step 1: In a large bowl with corn starch, toss the sliced beef until well coated. Set aside. In a pan, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the sliced beef to the hot oil and cook for a couple of minutes, stirring often, until the beef has browned. To a plate, transfer the browned beef.
Step 2: To the same pan, add the broccoli florets and garlic. Stir well and pour in the beef broth. Simmer for about 10 minutes, stirring often, until the broccoli is cooked.
Step 3: In the meantime, whisk the sauce ingredients in a bowl until well blended.
Step 4: Place the beef back in the pan and pour the sauce over it. Stir well and continue to simmer for another 5 minutes until the sauce has slightly thickened.
NOTES:
For this recipe, I use thinly sliced flank steak (about 1/4-inch thick/thin).
Either you buy a bag of pre-cut raw florets or simply cut florets on a head of broccoli. I use fresh, but if using frozen, you may need to cook the florets longer.
I suggest avoiding regular soy sauce, or the dish will be too salty. Use low sodium. Or swap it with coconut aminos if following a Paleo, whole30, or gluten-free diet.
In an airtight container, store any leftovers and keep them in the fridge for up to 2 days. Before serving, reheat in the microwave.
