1 1/2 pounds flank steak
2 pounds broccoli (about 2 heads)
1 medium onion
2 tablespoon extra light olive oil

Steps:

In the morning or evening before: Marinate steak: Peel garlic, peel and slice ginger. Place both in a blender with peanut butter, 1/4 cup soy sauce and 1/4 cup vinegar, sugar, red-pepper flakes and 2 TBS water. Blend until smooth. Place steak in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish: add all but 1/2 cup sauce and refrigerate. Cover and store reserved sauce at room temperature. 2. Prepare broccoli. Cut florets from broccoli; cover and refigerate. At Dinner Time: 1. Grill steak about 6 minutes on each side (medium-rare). Transfer to a large plate and cover loosely with aluminum foil and let rest 5 to 10 minutes. 2. Cook broccoli. While steak is grilling, thinly slice onion. In a large skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Add broccoli, onion and 1/4 cup water; season with salt. Cover skillet and cook, tossing occasionally, until broccoli is just tender, 8 to 10 minutes. Uncover; add remaining tablespoon soy sauce and tablespoon vinegar. Cook, tossing, until liquid is evaporated, 1 to 2 minutes. 3. Serve Thinly slice steak across the grain; serve with broccoli and reserved peanut sauce.
