For the beef and marinade, halve the flank steak down the center and thinly slice on bias against the grain. Combine with marinade in plastic bag and let stand 20 minutes.
For the sauce, whisk up all ingredients in medium bowl and re-whisk when ready to use.
For the broccoli, place ½ cup water in a skillet that has a lid. Boil. Add broccoli, cover 1 minute, uncover and let water evaporate, then transfer to a platter or bowl.
To prepare, heat 1 tablespoon oil, 1 turn of pan, in large nonstick skillet over medium-high to high heat. In batches, add beef in a single layer and brown 1 minute, flip and brown again, then remove and repeat. Remove pan from heat for a minute and reduce heat a bit. Add more oil to lightly coat the pan, add garlic, ginger and leek and stir 2 minutes, add sauce, beef and broccoli and combine, toss 2 minutes. Garnish with sesame seeds and serve with rice or Chinese rice noodles.
