Cooking Instructions
- Prep everything ahead of time as the actual cooking part goes very quickly. Trim fat from steak and slice it across the grain into thin bite-size pieces. Whisk together the sauce ingredients in a bowl.
- Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil to a large skillet over high heat until shimmering.
- Add broccoli and cook for 4-5 minutes, tossing often until tender-crisp. Transfer to a plate.
- Add remaining olive oil to the skillet. Add beef in a single layer and do not touch it for a minute. Stir and cook for another minute until slightly rare.
- Return broccoli to the pan, pour in the sauce, and stir until coated and the sauce thickens (1-3 minutes). Remove from heat and serve immediately.
Notes
