Ingredients

Ingredients

Ingredients (sauce)

• 1 lb frank steak sliced very thinly into bit size lengths
• Olive oil
• 1 lb broccoli cut into bite size florets
• 1 bell pepper cut into sliced bite size chunks
• 2tsp sesame seeds (optional)

Sauce

• 1 tsp ginger grated (or more)

• 4 cloves garlic minced

• 0.5 cup hot water

• 8 tbsp soy sauce

• 3 tbsp brown sugar

• 1.5 tbsp corn starch

• 1 tbsp chili garlic sauce (more or less to taste)

• 1 tsp black pepper

• 2 tbsp sesame oil

• 1 cup uncooked rice (cooked according to package directions)

Instructions

1. Combine all stir fry sauce ingredients in a bowl, stir well to dissolve the sugar, and set aside.
2. Place broccoli a large skillet over medium heat and add 1 Tbsp oil. Sauté 4-5 minutes, partially covered with lid, stirring or tossing several times. Remove from pan when done and set near.
3. Increase heat to high heat and add 1 Tbsp oil. Add beef in a single layer and sauté ~2 minutes per side or just until cooked through.
4. Add the sauce into beef, reduce heat to medium/low and simmer 3-4 minutes. It will thicken. Add broccoli and stir to combine. Stir in 1-2 Tbsp water to thin the sauce if desired. Simmer one more minute just enough to reheat the broccoli. Serve over white rice. Add sesame seeds (optional).
