Mongolian Beef and Broccoli

Mongolian Beef and Broccoli

This recipe is from my favorite cookbook; Skinnytaste.

If you don't own it-you should. Otherwise you 

can just slowly wait for me to cook my way through 

the cookbook for the 3rd time and post the recipes on here.

Ingredients:

2 tsp cornstarch

3 Tbsp plus 2 tsp soy sauce

2 tsp rice wine vinegar

4 tsp sesame oil

1 lb sirloin steak-thinly sliced against the grain

1/4 tsp salt

4 cups broccoli florets 

1 bunch scallions chopped- white and green separated

1 Tbsp minced garlic

1/2 tsp minced fresh ginger

2 Tbsp packed dark brown sugar

1 Tbsp oyster sauce

4 servings of white rice-Cooked according to the package 

(I used the boil in the bag type and used 2 bags)

Directions

In a bowl whisk together the cornstarch, 2 tsp soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, and 1 tsp of sesame oil. Season steak with salt, add to marinade and mix to coat. Let steak sit at room temperature for 30 minutes. 

Bring a large pot of water to a rolling boil. Add broccoli and cook until crisp tender about 1 minute. Drain and run under cold water. 

In a large skillet add 2 tsp of sesame oil over high heat, add beef and cook until all the sides are browned. 

Remove meat from skillet. 

Add 1 tsp sesame oil and add scallion whites, garlic and ginger. Cook for about 30 seconds. Add broccoli, brown sugar, 3 tbsp soy sauce and oyster sauce. Cook for about 30 seconds. Add beef stir for another 30 seconds until heated through. 

Remove from heat-Serve over white rice and top with scallion greens.
