Beef and Broccoli Stir Fry

Beef and Broccoli Stir Fry


To have a healthy meal this week, I made this wonderful beef and broccoli stir fry.  My family loved it, and they are one's to not like their veggies.  I have been trying to find ways to add in veggies without it seeming like there are veggies in the dish.  This was definitely a success, even with my picky eaters. 

• 3 tablespoons cornstarch, divided
• 1/2 cup water, plus
• 2 tablespoons water, divided
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 lb sirloin cut into strips
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
• 4 cups broccoli florets
• 1 small onion, cut into wedges
• 1/3 cup reduced sodium soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon ground ginger
• hot cooked rice

Directions:

In a bowl, combine 2 tablespoons cornstarch, 2 tablespoons water and garlic powder until smooth.  Add beef and toss.  In a large skillet or wok over medium high heat, stir-fry beef in 1 tablespoon oil until beef reaches desired doneness; remove and keep warm.  Stir-fry broccoli and onion in remaining oil for 4-5 minutes.  Return beef to pan.  Combine soy sauce, brown sugar, ginger and remaining cornstarch and water until smooth; add to the pan.  Cook and stir for 2 minutes.  Serve over rice.
