Calories: 322
Ingredients
- 5 cups broccoli florets (approximately 1-1/2 large heads of broccoli)
- 1/4 cup water
- 1 orange, juiced and zested
- 1/4 cup beef broth
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch, divided
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- 1/2 teaspoon fresh ground ginger
- 2 green onions, sliced
- 1 pound top sirloin steak, cut into 1 inch cubes
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Place broccoli in a large microwave safe bowl. Add 1/4 cup water; cover bowl with a microwave safe plate. Microwave on HIGH heat until crisp-tender, about 4 minutes.
- Using oven mitts, carefully remove plate, pointing the plate away from you since the steam will escape. Drain water from the broccoli.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the juice from the orange, broth, soy sauce, brown sugar, 1 teaspoon cornstarch, garlic, ginger, and green onion; set aside.
- Place the steak, remaining 2 teaspoons cornstarch, and salt in a gallon size zip-close bag and shake the bag to coat the steak.
- In a large stir fry skillet, heat the oil. Add steak to the skillet and cook 4-5 minutes, flipping the steak until both sides are cooked; transfer steak to a plate.
- Add broth mixture to the skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes, or until it begins to thicken. Add steak and broccoli to the sauce, mix and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the broccoli to soak up some of the juices.
- Top with additional optional sliced green onion and orange zest. Salt and pepper, to taste.
