Step 1:
Place your flank steak on a plate and cover with cling wrap. Place it in the freezer for about 30 minutes before slicing.
Step 2:
In a bowl, combine all the ingredients for the stir-fry sauce. Stir well until the sugar dissolves.
Step 3:
Place a large skillet or pan over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of oil. Add broccoli florets and cook for about 4 to 5 minutes, partially covered with the lid. Stir several times until tender. Transfer to a plate.
