BROCCOLI BEEF WITH MUSHROOMS

I am in an Asian food frame of mind lately. I have posted my go-to easy weeknight Chinese and Chinese-American dishes lately; Cashew Chicken, Kung Pao Chicken, Pork Chow Mein, Szechuan French Green Beans, Orange Chicken with Broccoli, and now Broccoli Beef with Mushrooms. I also have some Indian dishes that are quick and delicious that I will post later.

Sauce

¼ cup low sodium soy sauce

¼ cup beef broth

¼ cup oyster sauce

3 T dry sherry

1 T chile garlic sauce

1 T rice vinegar

1 T cornstarch
1 t sesame oil

2-inch piece ginger, grated

2 T peanut oil or avocado oil

1 large bunch broccoli, cut into florets

12 white or cremini mushrooms, cleaned, trimmed, and sliced

½ yellow onion, thinly sliced

1 lb steak, cut into thin strips

1 red bell pepper, sliced

1 clove garlic, pressed or minced

2 scallions, diagonally sliced, for garnish

Sesame seeds, for garnish

In a bowl or measuring pitcher, whisk together the sauce ingredients and set aside.

Heat half of the oil in a wok over medium-high heat.

Stir fry the broccoli for 3 to 4 minutes, remove and set aside in a large bowl.

Stir-fry mushrooms for 5 minutes, remove and transfer to the same bowl.

Stir-fry the onion and bell pepper for 3 to 4 minutes, remove and transfer to the same bowl.

Add the rest of the oil and stir-fry the steak for about 3 minutes.

Return the broccoli, mushrooms, onion, and bell pepper to the pan, along with the garlic and cook another minute.

Pour in the sauce and heat through for about 2 minutes.

Serve over cooked rice or Asian noodles and garnish with scallions and sesame seeds.
