Instructions
- Slice the Beef: Begin by slicing the flank steak against the grain into thin strips.
- Marinate the Beef: In a bowl, add the sliced beef, kosher salt, Worcestershire sauce, and cornstarch. Mix well and set aside to marinate for about 10-15 minutes.
- Prepare the Sauce: Combine beef broth, low sodium soy sauce, sesame oil, crushed red pepper, ground ginger, sugar, minced garlic, and onion powder in another bowl. Whisk until well blended and set aside.
- Cook the Beef: Heat a skillet or wok over medium-high heat, add grapeseed oil, and cook the marinated beef for 3-4 minutes until browned. Remove from pan.
- Stir-fry the Broccoli: In the same skillet, add butter, let it melt, and stir-fry the broccoli for 5-7 minutes until bright green.
- Combine and Finish Cooking: Return beef to skillet, pour the sauce over, and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until sauce thickens.
- Serve: Enjoy hot over rice or noodles.
