First, marinate the meat:
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp sugar
1 tbsp cornstarch
1 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
1 tbsp water
2 tbsp vegetable oil
1 1/2 lbs flank steak, sliced into thin strips
1. Whisk together the baking soda, sugar, cornstarch, soy sauce, water, and
vegetable oil in a large bowl. Toss the steak with the marinade to coat. Cover
and refrigerate at least 1 hour, then proceed below.
1/2 c low-sodium soy sauce (Do NOT use regular. The final product will be way too
salty)
2 tbsp brown sugar
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 tbsp flour
1 tbsp sherry
3 tbsp vegetable oil
2 heads broccoli, crowns only
1. In a small bowl, stir together the soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic, flour and sherry
until smooth. Set aside.
2. In a large wok or saute pan, heat 2 tablespoons of the vegetable oil over high
heat until shimmering. Add broccoli and saute 5 minutes, stirring often. (DON'T WALK AWAY! It'll burn fast.) Transfer
broccoli to a plate.
3. Reduce heat to medium-high. Carefully add the remaining tablespoon of oil to
the hot pan. Add the marinated meat and half of the sauce mixture and saute for 5-10 minutes, stirring often, until the meat is cooked through and no longer pink. Stir in the broccoli and remaining sauce. Saute 3 minutes more. Serve.
I bought a wok from WalMart for like $5. Great buy! I haven't used it for anything else yet but I plan on making stir fry here soon.
I make some white rice with it and serve the beef and broccoli over that. Soooo good! It is real easy to make and doesn't take long at all. I would say it serves 4 or so. We both have big servings with leftovers for one. I've cooked this twice now and neither time used flank steak. I just used whatever was cheap and thin then cut it into the strips. Like I said, I love this! I think it's better then anything I've got at a restaurant and much cheaper.
Enjoy!
