Instructions

1. Slice the flank steak thinly against the grain and pat dry with paper towels.

2. In a small bowl whisk together soy sauce, beef broth, cornstarch, brown sugar, and sesame oil until smooth.

3. Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium high heat.

4. Add the beef in a single layer and sear for 2 to 3 minutes per side until browned. Remove from skillet and set aside.

5. Add remaining oil to the skillet. Add broccoli and carrots and stir fry for 3 to 4 minutes until crisp tender.

6. Stir in minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.

7. Return the beef to the skillet. Pour in the prepared sauce and stir continuously until the sauce thickens and coats everything evenly, about 2 to 3 minutes.

8. Garnish with green onions and serve hot over rice or noodles.

Notes

For tender beef, always slice against the grain and avoid overcooking. High heat and short cooking time keep the meat juicy and prevent it from becoming tough.
