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
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. If you prefer softer broccoli, add 2 tablespoon water before covering with the lid and it will steam cook the broccoli.
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.
