I was looking for a good & easy beef/broccoli recipe on the internet; I found this one and tried it--it's definitely a keeper! Couple of things to note--I copied the recipe just like it was printed on the internet, so I didn't necessarily do everything exactly like it said (i.e., the "divided" part). Also, I didn't have the kind of beef that was recommended...probably if I had mine would've been more tender--next time I'll try another kind of beef. One more thing--I used frozen broccoli florets, but I steamed them first so they would be softer in the mix. Hope you enjoy!
3 Tbs cornstarch, divided
1/2 C water, plus
2 Tbs water, divided
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1 lb boneless round steak or charcoal chuck steaks, cut into thin 3 inch strips
2 TBS vegetable oil, divided
4 C broccoli florets
1 small onion, cut into wedges
1/3 C soy sauce
2 TBS brown sugar
1 tsp ground ginger ( I only had minced ginger--the kind that comes in a little jar that you keep in the fridge, but it worked great; however b/c I think it's probably stronger I only used 1/4 tsp--it seemed to add just the right amt of flavor)
hot cooked rice
1. in a bowl, combine 2 TBS cornstarch, 2 TBS water and garlic powder until smooth.
2. Add beef and toss.
3. In a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat, stir-fry beef in 1 tbs oil until beef reaches desired doneness; remove and keep warm
4. Stir-fry broccoli and onion in remaining oil for 4-5 minutes
5. Return beef to pan
6. Combine soy sauce, brown sugar, ginger & remaining cornstarch and water until smooth; add to the pan.
7. Cook and stir for 2 minutes
8. Serve over rice
