Beef Broccoli Stir Fry

Recipe from: Laura Ferguson Struempler, originally from Family Fun magazine, one of the Struempler favorites!

2 Tbsp. soy sauce

1 Tbsp. rice wine vinegar

1 Tbsp. sugar

1/2 tsp. sesame oil

2 1/2 tsp. cornstarch

1 clove minced garlic

1 tsp. minced fresh ginger

1 pound flank steak

1 medium head broccoli

2 Tbsp. vegetable oil

1/2 cup chicken or beef broth

2 Tbsp. oyster sauce

For marinade, combine: soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, sugar, and sesame oil into a medium-sized bowl.  Add cornstarch and blend well with a spoon.  Stir in garlic and ginger.

Trim any fat away from steak and cut into think slices- no more than 1/4 inch thick and no more than 1 1/2 inches long.  Stir pieces into marinade and cover bowl.  Set aside for 30 minutes.  

While meat marinades, cut broccoli into small florets and set aside.  I also start cooking the rice at this time, so it's all ready together.

Pour 2 Tbsp. vegetable oil into wok or large sauté pan.  Heat up on high temperature until it's very hot.  Add meat and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes or until slightly browned.  Transfer meat to a plate.  Immediately add broccoli and chicken or beef broth to pan.  Cover with a lid and cook over high heat for 2-3 minutes.  Uncover pan and stir in the meat and oyster sauce.  Cook uncovered for another 1-2 minutes, until broccoli is tender.  Makes about 4-5 servings.  Serve over rice and enjoy!
