• 2 scallions, sliced into long slices on the diagonal

For the sauce

• 1/4 cup low sodium soy sauce
• 1/4 cup water
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch

method:

Mix the beef, soy sauce,  garlic powder,  onion powder,  ground ginger, white pepper and cornstarch together

Marinate the beef for 15 minutes to 1 hour

Heat 1/4 cup sesame oil in the wok over high heat

Just before the oil starts to smoke, spread the flank steak pieces evenly in the wok, and sear for 1 minute (depending upon the heat of your wok)

Turn over and let the other side sear for another 30 seconds

Remove to a plate, the beef should be seared with a crusty coating

Turn the heat to medium-high

Add the broccoli and saute for 5 minutes

Add the ginger, garlic and scallions. Stir for another 10 seconds

Add the beef back to the wok and add the sauce

Bring the sauce to a simmer and let the sauce simmer for about a minute or two until the sauce thickens
