Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb flank steak, thinly sliced against the grain
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon peanut oil
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1/2 cup chicken stock
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 1 head broccoli, cut into florets
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 teaspoons ginger, minced
  • 1 tablespoon dark soy sauce (optional)

  2. In a bowl, whisk together chicken stock, apple cider vinegar, soy sauce, dark soy sauce (if using), and brown sugar.
  3. Steam broccoli florets in a skillet with a small amount of water until tender-crisp. Remove from skillet and set aside.

  • Adjust the amount of brown sugar to your preferred sweetness.
  • If you don’t have apple cider vinegar, dry apple juice can be substituted.
