Ingredients

  • 1 pound shaved beef steak
  • 1 small or medium onion chopped
  • 1 broccoli crown cut into florets (about 12 ounces)
  • 1 large carrot sliced thin
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 5 ounces sliced water chestnuts drained
  • Oil for cooking – canola sesame or peanut

Sauce:

  • 1 ½ cup beef broth
  • ¼ cup lite soy sauce or tamari
  • ¼ cup ketchup
  • 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • ¾ cup water

To Thicken:

  • 3 tablespoons cornstarch
  • ½ cup water

Instructions

  • Add all sauce ingredients (not the cornstarch mixture) to a bowl and mix well to combine and dissolve the sugar. Set aside. In a small cup, combine the cornstarch and water for thickening and set aside until needed.

  • Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet on medium-high heat. When the oil is hot, add onion, carrot, and broccoli. Stir fry 4 to 5 minutes, until broccoli is bright green and crisp-tender. Remove from pan and set aside.

  • Add bowl of sauce to the skillet with the meat. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer 4 to 5 minutes. Give the cornstarch slurry a quick stir, then drizzle it into the skillet and stir well to combine. Sauce will start to thicken.
    3 tablespoons cornstarch, ½ cup water
  • Add in the cooked broccoli mixture and sliced water chestnuts. Stir to coat well with the sauce. Heat mixture through, then serve over cooked rice.

Notes

For softer vegetables, once sauce is heated through cover and let simmer on low heat for 4 to 5 minutes. Then serve per usual.
