Method
Step 1: Prepare the steak & rice
Place the steak in the freezer for 1-2 hours before cooking. Meanwhile, cook some rice now if you don’t have any leftover.
Step 2: Slice the steak & make the sauce
Once the steak has firmed up in the freezer, slice it as thin as possible and place it in a bowl.
Grate the garlic cloves and ginger using a grater. Add them to the bowl with chili flakes, a splash of soy sauce, and half of the oil. Mix everything together with your hands.
Chop the broccoli into pieces for stir-frying.
Step 3: Stir fry the beef
Pour the remaining oil into a wok and set it over high heat. Once it starts to smoke, add the seasoned beef and for 1-2 minutes until cooked through. Remove and set aside.
Add a little soy sauce and water to the wok. Scrape the fond from the bottom of the pan, then add the broccoli. Let it cook until the water evaporates, then set aside. The broccoli should still be slightly crunchy.
Step 4: Serve & enjoy
To serve, place rice on the plate and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Add the broccoli, then the beef, some pickled onions, and finally another sprinkle of chili flakes. Enjoy!
“This is an easy stir fry dish to make when you’ve got some leftover rice you don’t know what to do with. The ginger & garlic come through the thin slices of beef and broccoli for some really good flavor.”

FAQ
What if I don’t have Thai chili flakes?
Cayenne pepper is a great substitute because they have a similar flavor to the Thai chili flakes. However, cayenne is a little less than the Thai chili flakes.
What type of steak is best?
I like flank steak for this recipe because it is lean and usually you can find a nice budget friendly cut at the grocery store. However, sirloin or skirt steak would work also.
