Ingredients
  

For Marinade

  • ⅓ cup Low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1 Lime juiced
  • 1 Lime zest
  • 2 tsp Toasted sesame oil
  • 2 tbsp Brown sugar
  • 1 tbsp Freshly grated ginger
  • 3 Garlic cloves grated
  • 1 Green onion sliced
  • 1 lb Flank Steak sliced very thinly against the grain

For the Stir-Fry

  • Marinated sirloin
  • 1 tbsp Bayou City All Purpose Seasoning
  • 1 tbsp Bayou City Garlic Pepper
  • 1 tsp Cumin
  • 3 tbsp Cornstarch
  • 3 tbsp Grapeseed oil divided
  • 1 tsp Chili flakes
  • 2 tbsp Sesame seeds divided
  • 2 Garlic cloves minced
  • 1 Green onion thinly sliced, plus more for garnish
  • pinch Kosher salt
  • 1 Large head broccoli cut into florets
  • 1 cup Low-sodium chicken broth
  • 2 tbsp Hoisin sauce
  • ⅓ cup Reserved marinade

Instructions
 

  • In a bowl, combine marinade ingredients. (Leave out the steak.)
  • Set aside 1/3 cup marinade and then add steak to the marinade and toss until evenly coated. Let marinate for 30 minutes up to an hour.
  • Drain marinated beef. In a large bowl, toss together cornstarch, Bayou City Seasonings, cumin, and beef. In a skillet on medium-high heat, heat 2 tablespoons of grapeseed oil. Add steak a little at a time to not overcrowd the pan and cook until seared, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Remove steak and set aside.
  • Return the skillet to medium heat. Add remaining 1 tablespoon grapeseed oil, then add chili flakes, 1 tablespoon sesame seeds, garlic, green onion, and a pinch of salt. Stir and cook for about 2 minutes. Add in broccoli and cook, about 4 minutes. Add in broth and let cook until broccoli is tender, 3 or 4 minutes.
  • Add hoisin and 1/3 cup marinade that we set aside. Bring to a simmer. Add back cooked steak and toss until evenly coated. Let cook, stirring, until the sauce thickens.
  • Garnish with more sesame seeds and green onions. Serve with rice!
