Jane and her mom Emily Neilson used to watch a show called Wok With Yan and this is where a love for stir fry began. This recipe is stolen and modified to Jane's taste from a site called Natashas Kitchen which has many great recipes by the way.

Ingredients of
Beef & Broccoli Stir Fry

Beef and Broccoli Ingredients:

  • 1 1/2 to 2 lbs flank steak, very thinly sliced into bite-sized strips
  • 1 large cooking onion
  • 2 Tbsp olive oil , (or vegetable oil), divided
  • 2 heads broccoli (cut into florets 10 - 12 cups)
  • 2 cups Basmati or white rice (cook according to package)
  • 4 tsp sesame seeds, optional garnish

Stir Fry Sauce Ingredients:

  • 1 tsp fresh ginger, grated (loosely packed) or 1/4 tsp dried 
  • 2 tsp garlic, grated (from 3 cloves)
  • 1/2 cup hot water
  • 6 Tbsp low sodium soy sauce
  • 3 Tbsp packed light brown sugar
  • 1 1/2 Tbsp corn starch
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 2 Tbsp sesame oil

How to Make
Beef & Broccoli Stir Fry

  1. Prep: Start cooking white rice first so it's ready when the stir fry is done. Cover and freeze steak 30 minutes for easier slicing.
  2. Combine all stir fry sauce ingredients in a bowl, stir well to dissolve the sugar, and set aside.
  3. Place a large skillet or wok over medium heat and add 1 Tbsp oil. Add broccoli florets and sauté 4-5 minutes, partially covered with lid, stirring or tossing several times until broccoli is bright green and crisp-tender then remove from pan. Tip: If you prefer softer broccoli, add 4 Tbsp water before covering with the lid and it will steam cook the broccoli.
  4. Increase heat to high heat and add 2 Tbsp oil. Add onion and sauté a few minutes then add beef and sauté about 2 minutes per side or just until cooked through. Quickly pull out a piece to test for doneness.
  5. Add the sauce, 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. Serve over white rice (basmati is my favourite).
