Beef and Broccoli Stir Fry recipe

beef

🥗Healthier: lean beef

💰Cheaper: chicken thighs

Chicken thighs are often more affordable and still provide good flavor.

soy sauce

🥗Healthier: low-sodium soy sauce

Lower sodium options are healthier for those monitoring salt intake.

Prepare the beef by mixing 1/2 tsp corn starch and 1/2 tsp baking soda in a bowl.

Add tamari (soy sauce alternative) and a few drops of sesame oil to the beef mixture.

Stir the mixture to coat the beef, massaging it to tenderize. Set aside to marinate.

In another bowl, prepare the sauce with 1/4 cup oyster flavored sauce, a little Japanese white wine, corn starch, chicken powder, and a dash of white pepper. Add water and mix well.

Heat the carbon steel wok on low to warm heat for a minute before adding safflower oil.

Once the oil is heated, add the marinated beef to the wok and sauté until it starts to brown. Remove the beef and set aside.

Cook raw carrots in the wok with a few drops of oil, adding water if necessary to help them cook.

Add frozen broccoli to the wok, cover with a lid, and let it cook for 5 to 6 minutes to thaw and cook through.

Add a little mirin for sweetness, return the beef to the wok, and pour in the prepared sauce. Stir to coat everything and thicken the sauce, adding water if it thickens too much.

Turn off the heat and plate the beef and broccoli stir fry.
