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.

1

Mix the steak slices with the marinade ingredients thoroughly. Let them marinate for 15 minutes.

2

For the broccoli, place in salted boiling water for 60 seconds (30 seconds for stalk tips), if using. Then drain and refresh in cold or ice water. Once cold, strain and set aside.

3

In a measuring or pouring jar, mix all the ingredients of the stir-fry sauces. Set aside for later.

4

In a small bowl, add corn starch and mix with a little water. Set aside for the end.

5

Heat a large frying pan or wok over medium-high heat, then add the vegetable oil. Add the beef pieces and spread the strips out in the pan quickly. Let it sear for about a minute before starting to stir-fry. Keep repeating the process of spreading and stir-frying until the beef is nearly cooked.

6

Add the finely sliced chili, green onions, ginger, and garlic, stir-fry for another minute. Then add the cooked drained broccoli and continue stir-frying until it’s cooked, approximately 1 minute.

7

Pour in the mixed stir-fry sauces and cook until thick and glossy, approximately 30 seconds.

8

Finish by pouring in the slurry and sesame oil, mix well over high heat until the sauce is thick and glossy. Serve with steamed rice and garnish with coriander.
