Spicy Beef and Broccoli Stir-Fry (WW)

By Deeee

Ingredients

• 2 tbsp dry sherry
• 2 tbsp dark soy sauce
• 1 tbsp grated peeled gingerroot
• 5-6 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tsp Asian sesame oil
• 1/4 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
• 1/2 pound beef tenderloin, strips
• 1 tsp cornstarch
• 1 tbsp veg oil
• 4 cups chopped broccoli
• 3 scallions thinly sliced

Preparation

Step 1

Refrigerate for 1 hour in Marinade:
Combine the sherry, soy sauce, gingerroot, garlic, sesame oil and pepper flakes; add beef.

Drain the marinade into a measuring cup; add enough water to make 1/3 cup liquid. Add the cornstarch and stir until it dissolves.

Heat a large nonstick skillet or wok with a lid over high heat. Add the vegetable oil and beef; stir-fry until the beef loses its red color, about 1 minute. With a slotted spoon, transfer to a plate. Reduce the heat slightly and add the broccoli; stir-fry 3 minutes, then cover and steam 1 minute. Return the beef to the skillet and add the marinade; increase the heat to high and stir-fry until the sauce thickens, 2-3 minutes. Serve sprinkled with the scallions (gr onions).
