Beef and Broccoli

Ingredients
  • 1 pound lean boneless beef steak
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1½ tablespoons cornstarch
  • ½ teaspoon of ground red pepper
  • 1¼ cups regular strength beef broth
  • ¼ teaspoon ground ginger
  • 2 tablespoons dry sherry
  • ¼ cup olive oil
  • 1 bag frozen broccoli
  • 2 tablespoons water
Directions
  • Cut beef along the grain into 1½-inch strips. Then cut each strip across the grain into ¼-inch slanting slices.
  • In a bowl, mix together beef, soy sauce and garlic. Cover with wax paper and let marinate for 15 minutes in the refrigerator.
  • Put the cornstarch, red chile powder, broth, ginger and sherry into a medium bowl.
  • Place large skillet or wok over high heat. When skillet is hot, add 1 tablespoon oil. When oil is hot, add half of meat mixture and stir-fry until meat is browned (2 to 3 minutes). Place meat in a separate bowl and set aside. Repeat with the rest of the meat, using 1 tablespoon more of oil.
  • Pour remaining 2 tablespoons of oil into skillet. When hot, add thawed broccoli and stir-fry for about 1 minute. Add water, cover and cook. Stir frequently until broccoli is tender and crisp (about 3 minutes).
  • Stir the cooking sauce, and add it with the meat to the skillet. Stir until sauce boils and thickens.
