Garlic and Ginger Broccoli Beef

By LoriCaputo

Ingredients

• 1 small bunch broccoli
• 2 tsp. oil
• 1 lb. beef strips
• 1 yellow or red pepper
• 1/4 cup soy sauce
• 5 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tbs. finely grated fresh ginger
• 1 tsp. sesame oil

Preparation

Step 1

Slice brocoli stems from florets, cut florets into small chunks. Peel stalks, tehn thinly slice. Heat oil in a wok and set over medium high heat. When hot add half the beef, stir often until no pink remains, from 2 - 3 minutes, remove to plate. Repeat with remaining beef, adding more oil, if needed.

Slice the pepper into thin strips. Place all the beef into the pan and reduce heat to medium. Stir in soy, garlic, ginger, and sesame oil. Add broccoli and pepper, cover and simmer stirring occasionally, until broccoli is tender-crisp 6-8 minutes.
