Steak with Peanut Sauce and Broccoli

Choose a lean, flavorful cut, such as flank steak, and -- with a sensible portion -- you can have your beef and eat it, too. Sauteed broccoli makes a healthy, low-carb side.

Prep: 30 minutes
Total: 30 minutes
Ingredients

Serves 4

* 2 garlic cloves
* 1 piece fresh ginger (1 inch long)
* 1/2 cup smooth peanut butter
* 1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon soy sauce
* 1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
* 1 tablespoon light-brown sugar
* 1/4 teaspoon red-pepper flakes
* 1 1/2 pounds flank steak
* 2 pints broccoli (about 2 heads)
* 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
* 4 scallions
* Coarse salt

Directions

1. In the morning: Peel garlic; peel and slice ginger. Place both in a blender with peanut butter, 1/4 cup soy sauce, 1/4 cup vinegar, sugar, red-pepper flakes, and 2 tablespoons water. Blend until smooth. Place steak in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish; add all but 1/2 cup sauce and refrigerate. Cover and store reserved sauce at room temperature. Cut florets from broccoli (reserve stalks for another use); cover and refrigerate.
2. At dinnertime: Heat broiler, with rack set 4 inches from heat. Lift steak from marinade; place on a broilerproof baking sheet. Broil until medium-rare, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer to a large plate, and cover loosely with aluminum foil; let rest, 5 to 10 minutes.
3. While steak is broiling, thinly slice scallions, keeping whites and greens separate. In a large skillet, heat oil over medium. Add broccoli, scallion whites, and 1/4 cup water; season with salt. Cover skillet, and cook, tossing occasionally, until broccoli is just tender, 8 to 10 minutes. Uncover; add remaining tablespoon soy sauce and tablespoon vinegar. Cook, tossing, until liquid is evaporated, 1 to 2 minutes. Mix in scallion greens.
4. To serve, thinly slice steak across the grain; serve with broccoli and reserved peanut sauce.

I agree about not being 4 servings. My husband absolutely loved it though. I think it could use more green onion and ginger. However, I did use ground ginger and I think it probably needs the fresh ginger like it called for.

This was a fabulous dinner. The only thing I would say is this was not 4 servings for my family. My son and my husband gobbled up the steak.
