Beef and Broccoli

Beef and Broccoli
Marinade:
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp sugar
1 T cornstarch
1 T low sodium soy sauce
1 T water
2 T vegetable oil
1 1/2 lbs flank steak, sliced into this strips

Whisk together marinade ingredients.  Toss the steak with the marinade to coat.  Cover and refrigerate at least 1 hour.

For sauce:
1/2 c low sodium soy sauce
2 T brown sugar
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 T flour
1 T sherry
3 T vegetable oil
2+ heads broccoli, florets only

In a small bowl, stir together the soy, brown sugar, garlic, flour and sherry until smooth.  Set aside.
In a large wok or saute pan, heat 2 T of the vegetable oil over high heat until shimmering.  Add broccoli and saute 3 minutes, stirring often.  Transfer broccoli to plate.
Carefully add the remaining T of oil to the hot pan.  Add the marinated meat and half of the sauce mixture and saute for 3-4 minutes, stirring often, until the meat is cooked through and no longer pink.  Stir in the broccoli and remaining sauce.  Saute 1 minute more.  Serve immediately.


This was seriously good.  I served it over brown rice and it is a regular on our table these days.
