Beef and Broccoli Stir Fry

INGREDIENTS

• 1 1/4 lbs flank steak thinly sliced
• 1 tablespoon + 1 teaspoon vegetable oil divided use
• 2 cups broccoli florets
• 2 teaspoons minced fresh ginger
• 1 teaspoon minced garlic
• 1/4 cup oyster sauce
• 1/4 cup beef broth or water
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• 2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil
• 1 teaspoon soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon cornstarch
• salt and pepper to taste

INSTRUCTIONS

• Heat 1 teaspoon of oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Add the broccoli and cook for approximately 4 minutes or until tender.
• Add the ginger and garlic to the pan and cook for 30 seconds more.
• Remove the broccoli from the pan; place on a plate and cover.
• Wipe the pan clean with a paper towel and turn the heat to high. Add the remaining tablespoon of oil.
• Season the steak pieces with salt and pepper and add them to the pan in a single layer – you may need to do this step in batches. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side until browned and cooked through.
• Add the broccoli mixture back to the pan and cook for 2 more minutes or until warmed through.
• In a bowl whisk together the oyster sauce, beef broth, sugar, sesame oil and soy sauce. In a small bowl mix the cornstarch with a tablespoon of cold water.
• Pour the oyster sauce mixture over the beef and vegetables; cook for 30 seconds. Add the cornstarch and bring to a boil; cook for 1 more minute or until sauce has just started to thicken.
• Serve immediately, with rice if desired.
