Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 pound flat iron steak sliced thin (read here why we use flat iron)
- 1 head of broccoli cut into florets approximately 4 cups
- 1/2 cup low sodium soy sauce see note 1
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1/2 teaspoon brown sugar
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1/2 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
- 1 - 2 teaspoons chili paste (we normally buy this) see note 2
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes optional
Instructions
- Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the beef and cook until no longer pink, about 6 minutes. Remove it from the pan.
- While the beef is cooking, whisk together the soy sauce, corn starch, brown sguar, ginger, garlic, chili paste, and red pepper flakes.
- Add the broccoli and sauté until tender, about 4 minutes. Add more oil as needed so the broccoli does not burn.
- Return the meat to the pan, and stir in the sauce. Cook until the sauce has thickened, about three minutes. Serve with rice.

Notes
- If you don't have low sodium soy sauce on hand, use 1/3 cup soy sauce and the rest water to make 1/2 cup total liquid.
- If you like your dishes spicy, make sure to add two teaspoons of chili paste. Just 1 teaspoon will give it just a small, nice little kick.
- Please note that the nutritional information does not include the rice.
