You'll get a larger portion and spend less money by making this awesome beef with broccoli instead of ordering takeout.
Beef with broccoli
Ingredients:
- 1 pound sirloin steak
- 1 head of broccoli
- 1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
- 1/2 cup low-sodium soy sauce
- 1/4 cup cornstarch
- 3 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 1/4 cup low-sodium beef broth
- 1/4 cup oyster sauce
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 3 tablespoons olive oil

Directions:
1. Break broccoli into florets and set aside.
2. Combine the cornstarch, soy sauce, rice vinegar, garlic and ginger in a mixing bowl and stir.
3. Slice the steak into thin strips and combine with half of the sauce.
4. Sauté the broccoli in a very hot pan. Remove after the broccoli browns slightly.
5. In the same pan, cook the beef until slightly charred, then flip. Remove from pan.
6. Add the oyster sauce, beef broth and remaining sauce to the pan and stir. Return the beef and broccoli to the pan and stir to completely coat. Serve over rice.
