Lean Beef and Broccoli Stir-Fry
Overview
- Yield: 4-6
Ingredients
-
1 pound top sirloin steak, thinly sliced
-
¼ cup low-sodium soy sauce
-
2 teaspoons cornstarch
-
1 tablespoon dark brown sugar
-
2 tablespoons fresh ginger, minced
-
1 tablespoon oil
-
1 large head broccoli, cut into 1-inch florets
-
½ cup water
-
3 cloves garlic, minced
-
¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
-
1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
Method
- In a medium bowl, mix together the sirloin steak, soy sauce, cornstarch, brown sugar, and ginger until the meat is evenly covered in the marinade.
- Set aside to marinate for 20 minutes.
- Heat the oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Dump in the meat and marinade and sear each side until golden brown.
- Transfer the meat to a clean bowl and set aside.
- Place the broccoli into the hot skillet and sauté until the broccoli has just started to brown, about 1 minute.
- Pour the water into the skillet and immediately cover with a lid. Let it steam for 2 minutes, until the broccoli has softened.
- Remove the lid and toss in the garlic, red pepper flakes, and sesame oil. Sauté until the garlic becomes fragrant, about 30 seconds.
- Add the steak back into the pan and stir to combine.
- Remove from heat and serve on a bed of brown rice.
