Beef and Broccoli Ingredients

  • 1 lb flank steak very thinly sliced into bite-sized strips
  • 2 tablespoon olive oil or vegetable oil
  • 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 light brown sugar packed
  • 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.

Sauce Preparation

  • Combine all stir fry sauce ingredients in a bowl, stir well to dissolve the sugar, and set aside.

Cooking Broccoli

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

Cooking Beef

  • 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.

Final Steps

  • 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.
