Ginger-Lemon Beef And Broccoli
- 1 cup milk
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 2 teaspoons grated lemon zest
- 1/3 cup soy sauce, reduced-sodium
- 1 tablespoon liquid honey
- 1/4 teaspoon hot pepper flakes (to taste)
- 1 tablespoon butter, divided
- 1 lb boneless beef grilling steak, cut into thin strips
- 1 onion, cut in half and sliced
- 6 cups broccoli, pieces
- 2 tablespoons fresh gingerroot, grated (or 1 tsp. ground)
- 2 teaspoons lemon juice, freshly squeezed
- In a bowl, whisk a little of the milk into cornstarch to make a smooth paste. Whisk in remaining milk, lemon zest, soy sauce, honey and hot pepper flakes; set aside.
- Heat a wok or large skillet over high heat. Add beef and stir-fry for 3 minutes or until browned; transfer to a bowl. Add remaining butter to pan, then onion and stir-fry for 1 minute. Add broccoli and ginger and stir-fry for 3 minutes or until onion is tender. Return beef and accumulated juices to pan.
- Whisk milk mixture and pour into pan. Cook, stirring and scraping up brown bits, for about 2 minutes or until thickened. Stir in lemon juice.
- COOKING TIP: Grate the lemon zest and the ginger on the fine-side of a box cheese grater. Grating the ginger gets the most from the flavor in the short cooking time of a stir-fry.
- Cut the prep time by buying precut beef stir-fry strips and pre-cut broccoli.
