Beef and Broccoli
 450 g Flank steak, thinly sliced
 450 g Broccoli
 2 tbsp Olive oil (or vegetable oil)
 2 tsp Sesame seeds (optional garnish)
 120 g Cooked white rice
Stir Fry Sauce
 1 tsp Ginger paste
 2 tsp Garlic paste
 ½ cup Hot water
 6 tbsp Low sodium soy sauce
 3 tbsp Light brown sugar
 1 ½ tbsp Corn starch
 ¼ tsp Black pepper
 2 tbsp sesame oil

Preparation
1

Start by cooking white rice following the package instructions so that it's ready when your stir-fry is done.

2

Slice the beef into thin, bite-sized pieces.

3

In a bowl, combine all the stir-fry sauce ingredients, making sure to stir well to dissolve the sugar. Set this sauce mixture aside.

Cooking
4

In a large skillet, set the heat to medium and add 1 tablespoon of oil.

5

Add the broccoli florets to the skillet and sauté them for 4-5 minutes. Partially cover the skillet with a lid and stir or toss the broccoli several times. Continue cooking until the broccoli turns bright green and reaches your desired level of tenderness. If you prefer softer broccoli, add 2 tablespoons of water before covering with the lid to steam-cook it.

6

Increase the heat to high and add another 1 tablespoon of oil to the skillet.

7

Lay the beef in a single layer and sauté for approximately 2 minutes per side, or just until it's cooked through. Quickly pull out a piece to test for doneness.

8

Add the prepared sauce to the skillet, reduce the heat to medium-low, and simmer for 3-4 minutes. The sauce will thicken during this time.

9

Finally, add the sautéed broccoli back to the skillet and stir to combine with the beef and sauce. If you prefer a thinner sauce, you can stir in 1-2 tablespoons of water.

10

Serve this delicious beef and broccoli stir-fry over the cooked white rice for a satisfying meal. Enjoy!
