- 1/2 cup low-sodium soy sauce

- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 4 cloves garlic
- 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
- 3 tablespoons cornstarch

Instructions
- Slice the flank steak thinly against the grain and set aside. In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, water, vinegar, brown sugar, ginger, garlic, and red pepper flakes until smooth.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over high heat. Add broccoli florets and stir-fry for 4–5 minutes until tender-crisp; remove from skillet.
