  • 1/2 pound flank steak or boneless top round, trimmed
  • 10 sun-dried tomato slices or halves (packed without oil)
  • 3/4 cup boiling water
  • 2 teaspoons cornstarch

Preparation

Step 1

Slice steak diagonally across grain into very thin slices.

Combine tomato slices and boiling water; let stand 5 minutes. Drain and slice tomatoes into thin strips, reserving liquid.

Combine cornstarch, soy sauce, sugar, and reserved tomato liquid, stirring until smooth. Set aside.

Heat a large nonstick skillet coated with cooking spray over medium-high heat. Add steak and cool, stirring constantly, 3 minutes. Remove from skillet, and set aside. Add broccoli; cover and cook 3 minutes. Add tomato strips, scallions, and garlic. Cook, stirring constantly, 3 minutes. Add cornstarch mixture and steak; cook, stirring constantly 1 minute. Serve over rice.

Notes:
A thawed 10-ounce package of frozen broccoli florets can also be used in place of fresh broccoli. Add it with the tomatoes, scallions, and garlic; cook, uncovered, 3 minutes, stirring constantly.
