Beef & Broccoli Stir Fry

There are many varieties of stir-fry out there but I am a big fan of saucy stir-fries! The sauce in this stir-fry recipe is thick and coats the hot steamed rice beautifully. Healthy, quick and delicious. What more can you ask for?



4 servings | 30 minutes
Ingredients
500g beef strips or frying steak
2 bunches of broccoli
1 1/4 cup beef stock
2 tablespoon caster sugar
2 tablespoon soy sauce
4 tablespoon plain flour
1 teaspoon grated fresh or minced ginger
1 teaspoon mince garlic
Olive oil for frying


1. Cut your broccoli into florets. If you have purchased frying steak, cut into strips.


2. In a small bowl, combine flour, stock, sugar and soy sauce until you get a smooth, lump-free sauce. 


3. In a large wok (on high heat) heat up your oil and fry mince and garlic before adding beef and cooking till browned.


4. When meat has been browned, add in your sauce. 


5. As your wok is currently set on a high heat you will notice the sauce thickening up real quick so reduce the heat. Add your broccoli and mix all the ingredients together in the wok and leave to simmer for 5-10 minutes before serving on a hot bed of rice. 


Notes and Variations
The beauty with stir-fries is you can always add more vegetables to it; so I think capsicum, carrot, baby corn and snow peas would make a great addition to this stir-fry.
If rice isn't your thing, you can substitute it with noodles and cook them according to the packet instructions. Thick egg noodles would be wonderful for this. The same goes with the meat; if you are not keen on beef, you can use chicken or pork. It is such a beautifully versatile recipe that you can experiment with.
