Beef and Broccoli

A quick beef and broccoli for a weeknight dinner!

Ingredients

Beef and Broccoli

• 1 lb flank steak, very thinly sliced into bite sized pieces
• 2 tbsp Olive oil, divided
• 1 lb broccoli, cut into 6 cups of florets
• 2 tsp sesame seeds

Stir Fry Sauce

• 1 tsp ginger
• 2 tsp garlic, grated or finely chopped
• 1/2 cup hot water
• 6 tbsp soy sauce
• 3 tbsp packed light brown sugar
• 1 1/2 tbsp corn starch
• 1/4 tsp black pepper

Instructions

1. Start cooking white rice
2. Cover and freeze steak for 30 minutes for easier slicing. Thinly slice the steak.
3. Combine all stir fry sauce ingredients in a bowl, stir well to dissolve the sugar, and set aside
4. Place a large skillet over medium heat and add 1 tbsp oil. Add broccoli florets and saute 4-5 minutes, partially covered with lid, stirring or tossing several times until broccoli is bright green and crisp-tender then remove from pan.
5. Increase heat to high heat and add 1 tbsp oil. Add beef in a single layer and saute 2 minutes per side or just until cooked through. Quickly pull out a piece to test.
6. 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.
