Ginger Steak and Broccoli Stir-Fry 

2 tsp. Asian (dark) sesame oil

10 oz. lean sirloin steak, trimmed and cut into thin strips

1 Tbl. minced peeled fresh ginger

2 garlic cloves, minced

2 cups small broccoli florets

4 scallions, cut into 1-inch lengths

1 Tbl. reduced-sodium soy sauce

1/2 tsp. hot chili paste

Heat large deep skillet or wok over high heat until drop of water sizzles in pan.  Add steak and stir-fry until lightly browned, about 2 minutes.  Transfer to plate.

Add ginger and garlic to skillet and stir-fry until fragrant, about 30 seconds.  Add broccoli and scallions and stir-fry until just softened, about 2 minutes longer.

Return steak to skillet along with soy sauce and chili paste.  Stir-fry until beef is just cooked through, about 2 minutes longer.

Cook’s Note:

To easily cut the steak into thin strips, put it in the freezer for 30 minutes before slicing.
