1. [0:18](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8eITNSfct3Q&t=18s) Freeze the flank steak for 30 minutes to make it easier to slice.
2. [0:25](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8eITNSfct3Q&t=25s) Prepare the sauce by grating garlic and ginger, then whisking them with warm water, soy sauce, brown sugar, cornstarch, sesame oil, and black pepper in a bowl.
3. [1:28](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8eITNSfct3Q&t=88s) Cut the broccoli crowns into bite-sized florets.
4. [1:38](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8eITNSfct3Q&t=98s) Slice the chilled steak thinly across the grain into bite-sized pieces.
5. [2:17](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8eITNSfct3Q&t=137s) Sauté the broccoli in a large skillet with a tablespoon of oil over medium heat, partially covered, for 4 to 5 minutes until tender-crisp and bright green, then transfer to a bowl.
6. [2:34](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8eITNSfct3Q&t=154s) Cook the sliced beef in a single layer with a tablespoon of oil in the same skillet over medium-high heat for about 2 minutes per side until done.
7. [3:10](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8eITNSfct3Q&t=190s) Lower the heat to low, stir the marinade, pour it over the beef, and simmer for 3 to 4 minutes until the sauce thickens.
8. [3:18](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8eITNSfct3Q&t=198s) Return the cooked broccoli to the skillet, toss to combine with the beef and sauce, adding a bit of water if needed to thin the sauce.
