Beef with Broccoli
The majority of the prep time for this Chinese recipe for beef with broccoli will be spent slicing and chopping the meat and broccoli. The cooking actually goes quickly, so have everything ready to go before you heat up that pan—this is called mise en place and ensures everything is ready to toss into the pan when needed. Don’t forget to have clean bowls available to hold sauce-covered spoons or the cooked beef that you’ll add back to the pan later in the recipe.
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1/2 cup reduced-sodium beef broth
- 1/4 cup sherry or additional beef broth
- 2 tablespoons reduced-sodium soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1 teaspoon minced fresh gingerroot
- 2 teaspoons canola oil, divided
- 1/2 pound beef top sirloin steak, cut into 1/4-inch-thick strips
- 2 cups fresh small broccoli florets
- 8 green onions, cut into 1-inch pieces
Directions
- Mix the first 7 ingredients. In a large nonstick skillet, heat 1 teaspoon oil over medium-high heat; stir-fry beef until browned, 1-3 minutes. Remove from pan.
- Stir-fry broccoli in remaining oil until crisp-tender, 3-5 minutes. Add green onions; cook just until tender, 1-2 minutes. Stir cornstarch mixture and add to pan. Bring to a boil; cook and stir until sauce is thickened, 2-3 minutes. Add beef and heat through.
