Broccoli Beef



I consider broccoli beef heavenly delicious and I think a higher power agrees, judging by the glorious light gracing the above photo. It can only mean acceptance.




And really, what’s not to accept? Crunchy broccoli, savory beef, all over rice.



Nom. Nom. Nom.

Broccoli Beef:

2 round steaks, sliced into strips
1 head broccoli, chopped
¼ onion, diced
1 cup water

Sauce:

6 tbsp soy sauce
3 tbsp mirin
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tbsp white sugar
2 tsp cornstarch
¼ tsp black pepper

Mix all sauce ingredients together, set aside.

Heat 1 tbsp oil in a wok over medium-heat. Fry meat until browned, about 2-3 minutes. Remove meat to a plate.

Add another tbsp of oil to the wok and toss in broccoli and onion. Cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add in meat and sauce plus 1 cup water. Cook for another 2 minutes, stirring as sauce thickens.

Serve over sticky rice.

Serves 3.
