Beef and Broccoli

Beef and Broccoli Ingredients:

450 g steak, very thinly sliced into bite-sized strips

2 teaspoons vegetable oil, divided

450 g fresh broccoli, cut into florets

2 tsp sesame seeds, optional garnish

Stir Fry Sauce Ingredients:

1 tsp fresh ginger, grated 

2 tsp garlic, grated

1/2 cup hot water

6 Tbsp low sodium soy sauce

2 Tbsp packed light brown sugar

1.5 Tbsp corn starch

1/2 tsp black pepper

1/2 tsp MSG

2 teaspoons sesame oil

1. Make the Sauce: Combine all stir fry sauce ingredients in a bowl, stir well to dissolve the sugar, and set aside.

2. Cook Broccoli: Place a large skillet (wok) over medium heat and add 1 Tbsp oil.  Add broccoli florets and 2 tablespoons water and sauté 4-5 minutes, partially covered with lid, stirring or tossing several times until broccoli is bright green and crisp-tender then remove from pan. 

3. Cook Beef: Increase heat to high heat and add 1 Tbsp oil. Add beef in a single layer and sauté 2 minutes per side or just until cooked through. 

4. Add the sauce, reduce heat to medium/low and simmer 3-4 minutes. It will thicken. Add broccoli and stir to combine. Stir in 1-2 Tbsp water to thin the sauce if desired. Serve over white rice.
