Title: Better-Than-Takeout Beef and Broccoli
Ingredients:
– 1 lb of flank steak, thinly sliced against the grain
– 3 cups of broccoli florets
– 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil
– 3 cloves of garlic, minced
– 1 teaspoon of fresh ginger, grated
– 1/2 cup of low-sodium soy sauce
– 1/4 cup of water

Instructions:
1. In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, water, brown sugar, and cornstarch until smooth. Set the sauce aside for later use.

3. In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and grated ginger. Sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
4. Add the broccoli florets to the skillet and sauté for 3-4 minutes until they are bright green and slightly tender.
5. Return the cooked steak to the skillet and pour the prepared sauce over the meat and broccoli. Stir well to ensure everything is evenly coated in the sauce.
6. Allow the sauce to thicken and the flavors to meld together for an additional 2-3 minutes.
7. Once the sauce has thickened to your desired consistency, remove the skillet from heat.
8. Serve the Better-Than-Takeout Beef and Broccoli over a bed of fluffy white rice. Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions for an extra burst of flavor and freshness.
