Instructions

Cut broccoli into florets. Set aside. Blanch if you'd like to take this extra step.
To blanch the broccoli - fill a pot with water. Add 1 tsb salt. Bring to a boil. Add broccoli and cook for 3 minutes. Drain and transfer to a large bowl filled with ice cold water. Drain after 5 minutes.
In the mean time: Slice the flank steak thinly across the grain.
Mix together 2 tablespoons of cornstarch and 2 tablespoons of cold water.
Toss steak in cornstarch and water mixture.
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet (wok could be used). See recipe notes if you are using a Fusion cooker like the one I have.
Add steak and cook for 5-6 minutes (or more), until the beef is cooked through.
In a bowl, whisk together cornstarch, sweetener, oil, soy sauce, garlic, ginger, Hoisin sauce and chicken stock.
Remove from the pan. Add the sauce. Bring to a boil, cook for 1 minute, stirring frequently. Add the broccoli. Cook for 2-3 minutes. Add the beef. Stir to coat with the sauce, cook for 1 minute.
Serve over rice or low-carb alternative.

Notes to cook this delicious dish in the Tatung Fusion Cooker:

I cooked the pieces of beef in the Grill Pan, until fully cooked.

Removed the meat and transfered to a plate.

Then added the sauce and broccoli and cooked for 2 minutes.

I then combined the beef, sauce and broccoli and cooked for 1 minute. Then served.
