Quick Teriyaki Beef and Broccoli

1.In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, minced garlic, grated ginger, cornstarch, and water until smooth. Set aside.

2.Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the sliced flank steak and season with black pepper and red pepper flakes if using. Stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes until the beef is browned and cooked through. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.

3.In the same skillet, add the broccoli florets and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until they are bright green and slightly tender but still crisp. Push the broccoli to the side of the skillet.

4.Return the cooked beef to the skillet with the broccoli. Pour the teriyaki sauce over the beef and broccoli, stirring to combine. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats the beef and broccoli evenly.

5.Drizzle with sesame oil and toss everything together to combine. Remove from heat.
