Lately, I have been finding thin sliced beef for good prices at the grocery store. I have not had much experience with this cut of meat so I decided to look for a beef and broccoli recipe. I found this one on a blog called justataste.com. It's not only delicious, it's easy and doesn't take a long time. We've had it several times since I first made it and it's very filling!
Beef and Broccoli
3 Tbsp cornstarch, divided
1 lb flank steak, cut into thin 1" pieces
1/2 cup soy sauce
3 Tbsp packed light brown sugar
1 Tbsp minced garlic
2 tsp grated fresh ginger
2 Tbsp vegetable oil, divided
4 cups small broccoli florets
1/2 cup sliced onion
Whisk together 2 Tbsp cornstarch with 3 Tbsp water. Add beef to the mixture and toss to coat. In a separate bowl, whisk together remaining cornstarch with soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic and ginger. Set the sauce aside. Heat a nonstick saute' pan over medium heat. Add 1 Tbsp oil. Once heated, add beef and cook until the beef is almost cooked through. Using a slotted spoon, transfer beef to a plate and set aside. Add remaining oil to the pan and once heated, add broccoli and onion. Cook until the broccoli is tender, about 4-5 minutes. Return beef to pan and add the sauce. Bring the mixture to a boil and stir for 1 minute or until the sauce thickens. Serve over rice or noodles.
Enjoy!
