  • Next, place flank steak out on a cutting board and cover it with parchment paper. Use a meat tenderizer to tenderize the flank steak. Pound each side of the flank steak for 1-2 minutes or until it is 1/2 inch thick.
  • Slice your flank steak in half (hot dog way) and cut each half into about 3-inch long thin strips.

Notes

  • You can use any type of steak that you would like for this recipe, we prefer flank steak. For saucier beef and broccoli, double the sauce ingredients.
