Ingredients

Main Ingredients

1 pound beef flank steak thinly sliced
4 cups broccoli florets
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
4 cloves garlic minced
1 tablespoon ginger minced
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes

Szechuan Sauce

1/4 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup chicken broth
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons water
1 teaspoon Szechuan peppercorns crushed

Instructions

1 In a small bowl, mix the soy sauce, chicken broth, rice vinegar, hoisin sauce, and crushed Szechuan peppercorns.
2 Add the cornstarch slurry to the sauce mixture and stir until combined. Set aside.
3 Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large pan or wok over medium-high heat.
4 Add the sliced beef to the pan and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until browned. Remove the beef from the pan and set aside.
5 In the same pan, add another tablespoon of oil. Add the garlic, ginger, and red pepper flakes, stir-frying for 30 seconds until fragrant.
6 Add the broccoli florets to the pan and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until they are bright green and tender-crisp.
7 Return the beef to the pan, pouring the Szechuan sauce over the beef and broccoli. Stir well to coat everything evenly.
8 Continue to cook for another 2-3 minutes until the sauce has thickened and everything is heated through.
9 Serve hot over steamed rice or noodles, garnished with additional red pepper flakes if desired.
