Equipment

Ingredients
Beef and Broccoli Ingredients
- 1 lb flank steak very thinly sliced into bite-sized strips
- 2 tablespoon olive oil or vegetable oil, divided
- 1 lb fresh broccoli (cut into 6 cups of florets)
- 2 teaspoon sesame seeds optional garnish
Stir Fry Sauce Ingredients
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger grated (loosely packed)
- 2 teaspoon garlic grated (from 3 cloves)
- ½ cup hot water
- 6 tablespoon low sodium soy sauce or GF Tamari
- 3 tablespoon packed light brown sugar
- 1 ½ tablespoon corn starch
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoon sesame oil
Instructions
Preparation
- Start cooking white rice first so it's ready when the stir fry is done. Cover and freeze steak 30 minutes for easier slicing, then thinly slice against the grain.
- Combine all stir fry sauce ingredients in a bowl, stir well to dissolve the sugar, and set aside.
- Place a large skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon oil. Add broccoli florets 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.
- Increase heat to high heat and add 1 tablespoon oil. Add beef in a single layer and sauté 2 minutes per side or just until cooked through. Quickly pull out a piece to test for doneness.
- 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 tablespoon water to thin the sauce if desired. Serve over white rice.
Notes
Variations: More steak options include Top Sirloin Steak, Top Round Steak, Tri-Tip Steak, or Ribeye. For best results, use fresh vegetables, not frozen. You can substitute or add a variety of veggies such as snap peas, bell peppers, carrots, and even mushrooms.
