Beef Broccoli

Yesterday, I pulled the tub labelled "Beef Broccoli" out of the freezer and after defrosting, warmed it up in the wok while rice was cooking in my microwave rice cooker.  Easy and delicious!

Beef Broccoli

1 lb. beef flank steak
1 tsp. baking soda
1/4 C water

Sauce:
1/4 C soy sauce
2 T oyster sauce
1 tsp. sesame oil
1 tsp. sugar
1 tsp. cornstarch
1/2 tsp. salt

2 T oil
2 C broccoli florets
3 green onions, cut into 2-inch lengths.

Slice beef flank thinly across the grain.  Add baking soda and water; let stand for several hours or overnight or while you are making other meals.

Combine soy suace, oyster sauce, sesame oil, sugar, cornstarch and salt; mix well and set aside.

Heat a heavy pan or wok.  Add oil and stir fry the meat until the pink color leaves; remove from wok.  Add broccoli and green onions to the wok; toss for a few minutes, then return the meat to the wok.  Add sauce to the meat and stir until the sauce thickens.  Serve at once with noodles or rice.

To enjoy later:  Freeze meat and broccoli with sauce in a 14-cup container.  Defrost and warm in a wok.

To enjoy tonight:  Cook noodles or rice and serve with meat immediately.

This recipe was passed along to me from my mother-in-law and sister-in-law.
