Recipe information

  • Yield

    Serves 2

Ingredients

8 ounces top sirloin, cut into 1/4-inch-thick strips
3 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon Sherry
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 tablespoon oriental sesame oil
3 large garlic cloves, minced
1 2-inch piece fresh ginger, peeled, minced
2 cups broccoli florets
1 tablespoon peanut or other vegetable oil
2 cups Chinese pea pods, trimmed
6 green onions, cut into 1-inch-long pieces
1/2 red bell pepper, sliced
1 teaspoon cornstarch

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Combine first 7 ingredients and refrigerate 4 hours or overnight.

    Step 2

    Cook broccoli in small pot of boiling salted water until almost crisp-tender, about 2 minutes; drain. Rinse under cold water to cool.

    Step 3

    Heat oil in wok or heavy large skillet over high heat. Using slotted spoon, transfer beef to wok, reserving marinade. Stir-fry beef until just no longer pink, about 2 minutes. Remove beef from wok. Add broccoli, pea pods, green onions and red bell pepper. Continue stir-frying until vegetables are just crisp-tender, about 3 minutes. Stir cornstarch into reserved marinade. Pour marinade over vegetables in wok. Add beef and stir-fry until liquid boils and thickens, about 1 minute.
