Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 lbs Sirloin, ribeye, tri-tip, tenderloin, flank or shoulder steak
  • 1 large White onion
  • 2 large Bell peppers
  • 6 oz Mushrooms
  • 1 lb Broccoli
  • 2 tablespoon Oil for frying
  • ¼ cup Soy sauce or Bragg liquid aminos
  • 1.5 cups Beef broth or water
  • 2 tablespoon Brown sugar, maple syrup or honey
  • 3 tablespoon Cornstarch
  • 5 cloves Garlic
  • 1 inch Ginger
  • 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds

Instructions
 

  • Cut the vegetables and beef into thin slices.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, beef broth, brown sugar, cornstarch, garlic, and ginger. Set the sauce aside for later use.
  • Preheat a large ceramic non-stick skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of oil.
  • Add half of the beef and cook uncovered for 3-4 minutes on each side until browned. Transfer the cooked beef to a bowl and repeat with the remaining beef.
  • Return the skillet to high heat and add the sliced mushrooms. Cook for about 3 minutes or until they turn brown. Transfer the mushrooms to a plate and set aside.
  • Add the remaining tablespoon of oil to the skillet and toss in the sliced bell peppers and onions. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring once or twice, until the veggies have softened slightly. Transfer the cooked vegetables to a plate and set aside.
  • Lower the heat to medium and add the chopped broccoli to the skillet. Whisk the stir fry sauce again and pour it into the skillet. Stir until it comes to a boil and cook for a few minutes until thickened, stirring often.
  • Add the cooked beef, mushrooms, onions, and bell peppers back into the skillet. Stir gently to combine, then turn off the heat.
  • Garnish with sesame seeds and serve immediately over rice, quinoa, or whole wheat spaghetti.

Notes

  • Thinly slice the beef against the grain for maximum tenderness, and use fresh vegetables for the best flavor.
  • If you prefer spice, add red pepper flakes or sriracha to the sauce.
