Tender, velveted strips of beef and crisp-tender broccoli in a glossy garlic-ginger-soy sauce. Faster than delivery.

Ingredients

• 1¼ lb sirloin or flank steak, very thinly sliced
• 1½ lb broccoli florets
• ⅓ cup soy sauce
• 2 tbsp honey or brown sugar
• 4 garlic cloves, minced
• 1-inch ginger, grated
• ½ cup beef broth
• 1½ cups jasmine rice
• sesame seeds

From your pantry: 2 tbsp cornstarch, ¼ tsp baking soda, 2 tbsp oil, 1 tsp sesame oil.

Instructions

1. Toss the beef with 1 tbsp soy, 1 tbsp cornstarch and the baking soda. Rest 15 minutes. This makes it tender. Start the rice.
2. Whisk the remaining soy, honey, broth, sesame oil and 1 tbsp cornstarch.
3. Sear the beef in a very hot pan with 1 tbsp oil in a single layer, 1 minute per side. Remove.
4. Add the remaining oil and the broccoli with 2 tbsp water. Cover and cook 2 minutes. Add the garlic and ginger for 30 seconds.
5. Add the sauce and beef and toss until thick and glossy, 1 minute. Serve over rice with sesame seeds.

Tip: Freeze the steak for 20 minutes before slicing to get paper-thin strips.
