- 44.4 ml reduced-sodium soy sauce
- 14.8 ml fresh lime juice
- 14.8 ml packed brown sugar
- 2.46 ml sriracha
- 2.46 ml toasted sesame oil
- 7.39 ml cornstarch
- 14.8 ml canola oil

- sliced red chiles

- scallions
Prepare
- Grate 1 clove garlic
- 7.39 ml fresh ginger, peeled and grated
- 227 g flank or strip steak, halved lengthwise, then thinly sliced
- 1 broccoli, cut into small florets, stems peeled (if necessary) and chopped
Let's Cook
-
Step 1.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, lime juice, brown sugar, grated garlic, grated ginger, sriracha, toasted sesame oil, and 1 teaspoon cornstarch until smooth. Transfer half of this mixture to a small bowl and whisk in the remaining ½ teaspoon cornstarch and 3 tablespoons water; set aside for later.
-
Step 2.
Add the thinly sliced flank or strip steak to the remaining sauce in the medium bowl, toss to coat evenly, and let marinate at room temperature for 15 minutes.
-
Step 3.
While the steak marinates, heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add ¼ cup water and bring to a simmer. Add the broccoli florets and chopped stems, cover, and cook until bright green and just barely tender, 4 to 5 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the broccoli to a plate.
-
Step 4.
Wipe out the skillet and heat 1 tablespoon canola oil over medium-high heat. Add the marinated steak in a single layer and cook without moving until browned, about 2 minutes per side. Pour in the reserved sauce mixture from the small bowl and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the sauce begins to thicken, 2 to 3 minutes. Return the broccoli to the skillet and toss to combine and heat through.
-
Step 5.
Serve the beef and broccoli over cooked white rice. Garnish with sliced red chiles, sesame seeds, and sliced scallions if desired.
