Your family will love this because it's better than takeout - you'll love it because it's quick to make and packed full of nutritious ingredients. Serve it over rice or noodles to soak up the delicious sauce. Ingredients:
1 cup milk |
2 tablespoons cornstarch |
2 teaspoons grated lemon zest |
1/3 cup soy sauce, reduced-sodium |
1 tablespoon liquid honey |
1/4 teaspoon hot pepper flakes (to taste) |
1 tablespoon butter, divided |
1 lb boneless beef grilling steak, cut into thin strips |
1 onion, cut in half and sliced |
6 cups broccoli, pieces |
2 tablespoons fresh gingerroot, grated (or 1 tsp. ground) |
2 teaspoons lemon juice, freshly squeezed |
Directions:
1. In a bowl, whisk a little of the milk into cornstarch to make a smooth paste. Whisk in remaining milk, lemon zest, soy sauce, honey and hot pepper flakes; set aside.
2. Heat a wok or large skillet over high heat. Add beef and stir-fry for 3 minutes or until browned; transfer to a bowl. Add remaining butter to pan, then onion and stir-fry for 1 minute. Add broccoli and ginger and stir-fry for 3 minutes or until onion is tender. Return beef and accumulated juices to pan.
3. Whisk milk mixture and pour into pan. Cook, stirring and scraping up brown bits, for about 2 minutes or until thickened. Stir in lemon juice.
4. COOKING TIP: Grate the lemon zest and the ginger on the fine-side of a box cheese grater. Grating the ginger gets the most from the flavor in the short cooking time of a stir-fry.
5. Cut the prep time by buying precut beef stir-fry strips and pre-cut broccoli.
