Tips for the perfect beef and broccoli

• The beef in this recipe is thinly sliced flank steak. I find that it can sometimes be tricky to slice steak, so I typically put it in the freezer for about 30 minutes before I slice it. Freezing the meat helps to firm it up so that you can get thinner slices.
• As an alternative to Soy sauce try Oyster sauce which is a brown Chinese sauce that can be found in the ethnic aisle of most grocery stores. It is different than fish sauce, which is typically used in Thai and Vietnamese cooking.
• This dish is great for meal prep, and will stay fresh for up to 4 days in the refrigerator.
