instructions
    1

    Start by slicing the beef flank steak against the grain into thin strips. This helps to keep the meat tender. Set it aside.

    2

    In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce, cornstarch, and beef broth. Stir well until the cornstarch is dissolved and set it aside.

    3

    Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add the sesame oil. Once hot, add the sliced beef to the skillet. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until browned and cooked through.

    4

    Add minced garlic and grated ginger to the skillet with the beef and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.

    5

    Pour in the soy sauce mixture and stir everything together. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.

    6

    Add the broccoli and stir well. Cook for another 5 minutes, or until the broccoli is tender-crisp.

    7

    Finally, slice the green onions and sprinkle them over the finished dish before serving.
