Beef & Broccoli

I keep trying new recipes for Beef & Broccoli.  This one was pretty easy to make and came out really good.  I will definitely use this recipe again.  Sorry for the bad photo - but we ate it so fast, I forgot a photo.  Here's the leftovers I took for lunch!


Ingredients:
2tablespoons reduced-sodium soy sauce
1tablespoon cornstarch
1tablespoon white vinegar
1tablespoon grated fresh ginger
1/4teaspoon crushed red pepper
2cloves garlic, minced
12ounces boneless beef top sirloin steak
1small bunch broccoli (about 1 pound)
2teaspoons cooking oil
2medium carrots, bias-sliced 1/8 inch thick
3/4cup reduced-sodium beef broth
4 green onions, bias-sliced



1. For marinade, in a medium bowl, combine soy sauce, cornstarch, vinegar, ginger, crushed red pepper, and garlic. Trim fat from meat. Cut meat across the grain into 1/8-inch-thick slices. Add meat to marinade; toss to coat. Cover and marinate at room temperature for 10 minutes. Drain meat, discarding marinade.

2. Meanwhile, cut broccoli florets from stems. If desired, peel stems. Cut stems into 1/4-inch-thick slices.

3. In a wok or large skillet, heat 1 teaspoon of the oil over medium-high heat. Add meat; cook and stir in hot oil for 2 to 3 minutes or until slightly pink in center. Remove meat from wok or skillet.

4. Add the remaining 1 teaspoon oil to hot wok or skillet. Add broccoli and carrots; cook and stir for 1 minute. Add beef broth: cook and stir for 5 to 7 minutes or until vegetables are crisp-tender, stirring to scrape up any browned bits from bottom of wok or skillet. Return cooked meat to wok or skillet. Add green onions; heat through. Serve immediately over rice!

Verdict: it was easy & delicious!
