Who needs takeout? You can make tender sirloin beef tips and broccoli in a velvety soy glaze just as fast yourself.
Ingredients:
1 1/2 tablespoons cornstarch
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
3/4 pound sirloin beef tips, sliced against the grain 1/8 inch thick
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
10 ounces frozen broccoli florets, thawed
3 garlic cloves, chopped
3 tablespoons soy sauce
1/3 cup water
accompaniment: rice
garnish: fresh cilantro sprigs
Directions:
1. Toss together cornstarch, salt, pepper, and beef in a bowl until meat is coated.
2. Heat 2 tablespoons oil in wok over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then stir-fry beef until just cooked through, about 1 minute. Transfer with a slotted spoon to another bowl and keep warm, loosely covered with foil.
3. Add remaining tablespoon oil to wok along with broccoli and garlic and stir-fry over moderately high heat until broccoli is just tender and garlic is pale golden, about 2 minutes.
4. Add soy sauce and water and bring to a boil. Return meat to skillet and cook, stirring, until sauce is thickened, about 2 minutes.
5. Cooks' note: Thaw broccoli, covered, in a microwave-safe container in a microwave oven 2 to 3 minutes.
