While the flank steak rests, heat a large skillet or dutch oven over medium heat and add 2 tablespoons of sesame oil. When the oil is hot add the broccoli to the pan and season with 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Saute the broccoli for 3-4 minutes or until cooked to your liking. We like our broccoli with a bit of bite to it. Remove the broccoli from the pan and set aside.
