1 lb flank steak, thinly sliced

1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 teaspoon sesame oil
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 tablespoons water

2. Bring a pot of water to boil. Blanch broccoli for 2 minutes. Drain and set aside.
3. Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a wok or skillet over high heat. Stir-fry beef until just browned. Remove and set aside.
4. Add remaining oil, garlic, and ginger to pan. Stir-fry until fragrant.

Notes
Slice the beef very thinly for best texture and quickest cooking.
Blanching the broccoli keeps it vibrant green and perfectly tender-crisp.
