This dish is a classic stir-fry which is really tough to screw up! It’s easy to prep and cook, and for all you steak and broccoli lovers (is that an oxymoron?), the flavor is outstanding! Add extra jalapeño peppers if you want more of a punch. Remove the seeds if you like it a bit milder. And, be careful not to take a layer of skin off the roof of your mouth!

Author: Asian Caucasian

Serving Size: 4

Ingredients

1 tablespoon hoison sauce
⅓ cup sherry
1 tablespoon black soy sauce
1 table spoon reduced-sodium soy sauce
1 teaspoon white sugar
1 teaspoon cornstarch
½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
¾ pound top round steak, cut into thick strips
2 tablespoons canola oil
½ onion chopped
1 large jalapeño pepper, seeded and chopped
2 large garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon fresh grated ginger
1 pound broccoli florets
Toasted sesame seeds
Cooked brown rice for serving

Instructions

In a medium bowl, whisk together hoison sauce through red pepper flakes. Add meat to bowl and marinate for about 15 minutes. Meanwhile, prepare the vegetables.
In a large wok, heat 1 tablespoon of oil over medium-high heat and add beef strips. Cook until browned, about 2-3 minutes, being careful not to overcook. Reserve the leftover marinade. Remove beef from wok and set aside.
Add 1 tablespoon of oil to wok over medium-high heat. Add onion, peppers, garlic, and ginger, stirring for about 4 minutes until fragrant. Stir in the broccoli florets and cook until crisp-tender, about 4 minutes. Toss in the beef strips and leftover marinade. Cook another 1-2 minutes until heated through. Serve over brown rice. Sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds.

Notes

Black soy sauce can be found at specialty Asian markets. You can leave this out, if desired, and double up on the soy sauce.
To toast the sesame seeds: Place in a skillet on the stove over medium heat and dry toast it until light brown. Don't overcook.
