Preparation

Step 1

1.In medium bowl, mix beef, soy sauce, garlic and ginger root; set aside.
In small bowl, mix sauce ingredients with wire whisk until well blended;
set aside.

2.In wok or 12-inch skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of the oil over high heat
about 1 minute. Add beef mixture, breaking up clumps of beef with wooden
spoon; cook 1 minute without stirring. Stir-fry 1 to 2 minutes or until
beef is browned around edges. Transfer beef mixture to clean bowl.

3.To empty wok, add remaining 1 tablespoon oil; heat over high heat about 1
minute. Add broccoli and carrots; cook 2 minutes, stirring frequently.
Add 2 tablespoons water; cover and cook 2 to 4 minutes, stirring
occasionally, until broccoli and carrots are crisp-tender.

4.Return beef mixture to wok. Mix sauce mixture again with wire whisk to
recombine; pour into wok. Stir to coat mixture with sauce. Cook 1 to 2
minutes, stirring occasionally, until sauce is thickened. Sprinkle each
serving with cashews.

NOTES:

To make cutting the beef easier, put the uncooked flank steak in the freezer for 15 minutes. Cutting with the grain, cut the steak into 3 long strips, then cut each strip across the grain into 1/8-inch-thick slices.

Serve the stir-fry mixture over hot cooked rice or Asian noodles
