1
For bright green broccoli, start by blanching the broccoli in boiling water for 2-3 minutes until it turns bright green. Remove, drain under cold water, and pat dry. This step can be skipped, but broccoli won’t be as bright green. Start by slicing the flank steak into thin pieces. For easier slicing, place the steak in the freezer for 10-15 minutes before slicing. Season the beef with pepper.
3
Add half of the sesame oil to a skillet or wok over high heat. Add the beef and cook, stirring often, until the meat is just cooked through. Remove and set aside.
4
Add the remaining oil to the pan. Add the broccoli and cook for 1-2 minutes. If the broccoli hasn’t been blanched, cook 4-5 minutes, adding 1-2 tablespoons of water if it begins to burn.
