• 1 lb flank steak

1. Slice the steak against the grain into very thin slices.

3. Marinate the meat for 15 minutes.
4. While the meat is marinating, slice the broccoli at a diagonal and mince garlic and ginger.
5. Heat a wok or large frying pan for 30 seconds, add oil, wait about 20 seconds, and add minced garlic and ginger root. Fry over high heat, stirring constantly for about 20 seconds more, then add the beef.

I used pineapple-orange juice blend instead of the sherry, and doubled the amount of sauce. I also used 2 cups of fresh broccoli instead of frozen. Very good and simple recipe - have made it twice now. My boyfriend requested I make it again after I made it the first time. Good and easy enough to be a "regular".

This was very good! Next time I'm going to double the amount of sauce. I prefer it a little "saucier". The flavor was fantastic!

Awesome! I added twice the amount of soy sauce, sherry, cornstarch and garlic and used fresh broccoli. I will definitely make this again.
