Beef and Broccoli Stir-Fry

Beef and Broccoli Stir- Fry

1/2 cup soy sauce
2 Tbsp. lemon juice
1 Tbsp. cornstarch
1 Tbsp. firmly packed brown sugar
1 clove garlic, crushed
1 tsp. pepper
2 Tbsp. vegetable oil, divided
2 lb. top sirloin, sliced 1/4-inch thick
1 medium onion, thinly sliced
2 medium heads broccoli
2 tsp. grated fresh gingerroot

In a small bowl, combine soy sauce, lemon juice, cornstarch, brown sugar, garlic and pepper. Set aside.

Heat 1 Tbsp. vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add beef and stir- fry until almost cooked through about 2 minutes. Transfer beef to plate and cover to keep warm.

Heat remaining oil in skillet. Add onion and stir-fry for 5 minutes. Cut broccoli into florets (should be about 4 cups) and add to skillet with 1/2 cup water. Bring to a boil, cover, reduce heat and simmer for 3 minutes.

Return beef to skillet with soy sauce mixture; add ginger. Bring to a boil and cook, stirring constantly, until sauce thickens, about 2 minutes. Serve hot.

When we made this it was really chewy and not very good but I think it was the type of meat we used. If you use a really good cut of meat it should be good because the broccoli was really good and the flavoring on the broccoli and rice was good too. I don't remember what kind of meat we used but the one here calls for Top Sirloin so just make sure you don't get the cheap stuff. I didn't actually make this it was mom but I'm pretty sure we left out the ginger root when we made it.
