Asian Beef & Broccoli

from savingdinner.com

1 pound round steak, cut into strips (next time i would cube to make it easier on the little ones)
Salt to taste
Dash white pepper
1 big bunch of broccoli, cut into flowerets (cut stems into rounds, too)(You can easily add more veggies to this recipe! If you have anything hanging out in the crisper, use it up!)
1 1/2 teaspoons cornstarch
1 1/2 teaspoons soy sauce
1 1/2 teaspoons sesame oil (available in the Asian section of any grocery store)
1/4 cup chicken broth or vegetable broth (I used beef broth since it has beef in it)
1 1/2 teaspoons vegetable oil
6 cloves garlic, pressed
1 1/2 teaspoons grated gingerroot
3 cups brown rice, cooked
COOKING INSTRUCTIONS:
1-Toss beef with salt and white pepper.
2-Place broccoli in 1 inch boiling water; heat to boiling. Cover and cook 2 minutes. Immediately rinse with cold water; drain.
3-Mix cornstarch and soy sauce; stir in sesame oil and broth. set aside.
4-Spray nonstick wok or 12-inch skillet with nonstick cooking spray heat over medium-high heat until cooking spray starts to bubble. Add beef; stir-fry about 2 minutes or until brown. 5-Remove beef from wok. Cool wok slightly. Add a little oil and rotate wok to coat sides. Heat over medium-high heat. Add garlic and gingerroot; stir-fry 30 seconds. Stir in beef and broccoli. Stir in cornstarch mixture; cook and stir about 30 seconds or until thickened. Serve over brown rice.

This was a very yummy & tasty meal. we have broccoli 2 to 3 times a week so it is a nice change to have it included in the meal.
