Beef, Broccoli & Crisp Garlic Saute

Beef, Broccoli, & Crisp Garlic Saute

serves 4

Ingredients:

1 lb. Flank or Skirt Steak

1 tbs. Cornstarch

1/4 tsp. Salt

1/4 tsp. Sugar

1/4 tsp. Baking Soda

2 tbs. Canola Oil

3 Cloves Garlic, thinly sliced

1/4 tsp. Red Pepper Flakes

2 c. Small Broccoli Florets

3 tbs. Dry White Wine (sub. white grape juice for sweet flavor or chicken broth)

2 tbs. Soy Sauce

Cooked White Rice

Instructions:

Cut the beef across the grain into strips about 3-in long and 1/4-in thick. In a bowl, stir together the cornstarch, salt, sugar, baking soda, and 2 tbs. water. Add the beef and stir until well mixed. Let stand at room temperature for 30 minutes.

In a frying pan over high heat, add the canola oil. When the oil is hot, add the garlic and red pepper flakes and saute until crisp, about 1 minute. 

Add the beef, broccoli, and 2 tablespoons of the wine (or substitute) to the pan and cook until the beef is opaque and the broccoli is tender, about 5 minutes. Add the soy sauce and the remaining wine and stir for 1 minute.

Transfer to warmed plates and serve with steamed rice.
