Beef and Broccoli
Ingredients
- 1-2 lb top sirloin, flank steak (cut against the grain)
- 1/2 cup cornstarch
- 1 tbsp salt
- 1 tbsp pepper
- 1 bag frozen broccoli
- 3 strips of green onions
- garnish with sesame seeds
- oil to fry (I used coconut oil)
For the Sauce
- 3 tbsp garlic chopped
- 3 tbsp ginger chopped
- 1/3 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 cup warm water
- 3 tbsp brown sugar
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 3 tbsp cornstarch
Instructions
- Place your beef in the freezer for about 20 mins before slicing to make a thinner cut easier.
- Heat a cast iron pan on medium high with a few tablespoons of coconut oil.
- While the pan heats, slice your beef into thin strips against the grain.
- Season your beef with salt and pepper on both sides. Then, toss into a large ziplock bag and pour the 1/2 cup of cornstarch in and shake it until the beef is fully coated.
- Start a pot of water to boil for your frozen broccoli. Once boiling, dump the bag of veggies in and boil for 5 minutes.
- Strain the broccoli and sauteé in the cast iron until browned slightly and season with salt and pepper. Add in chopped green onions as well. Set cooked broccoli aside.
- Add a little more coconut oil into the cast iron pan and fry the beef in small batches and set aside on a paper towel. Cook all of your beef and set aside.
- Next, mix up your ingredients for the sauce in a large bowl.
- Add the cooked beef to the sauce and coat the meat.
- Dump the saucey meat back into the cast iron along with the cooked broccoli, turn the heat down to low and allow the ingredients to thicken up together.
- Serve with white rice and garnish with sesame seeds!
