Beef and Broccoli
2 tbs canola oil
2 tsp minced garlic
1 pound broccoli, washed and cut into bite-sized pieces
(or use frozen broccoli cuts if fresh is too pricey)
1/2 tsp sugar
1/2 cup water
2 tbs soy sauce
2 tbs oyster sauce (optional if you don’t keep this in your pantry;->)
1 tsp chili garlic sauce (can use regular chili sauce OR a spicy marinade)
1 tbs rice wine or dry sherry
1 tbs cornstarch mixed with 1 tbs water
8 oz sliced mushrooms
3/4 pound rare deli roast beef (can substitute pre-packaged bargain pkg!)
1 cup bean sprouts, washed and dried (can substitute small can)
Heat oil in a 12-inch skillet with a lid or a wok over medium heat.
Add garlic and stir fry for 20-30 seconds. Watch carefully – lower heat if necessary to avoid letting the garlic burn. Turn heat up to medium-high.
Add broccoli to the skillet. Sprinkle sugar over broccoli. Stir fry 1-2 minutes.
Pour water over broccoli. Cover and cook 4-5 minutes until broccoli is crisp-tender. Meanwhile, whisk together the soy sauce, oyster sauce, chili sauce and rice wine in a small bowl.
Pour over broccoli. Pour the cornstarch-water mixture into skillet or wok. Add mushrooms and roast beef.
Stir fry 2-3 minutes until vegetables are tender, and the sauce starts to thicken. Add the bean sprouts and stir-fry another 1-2 minutes.
