Ingredients

US Customary - Metric

Stir Fry Meat

1 lb flank steak or sirloin, sliced thinly crossgrain
1/4 cup corn starch
4 tbsp vegetable oil or another neutral oil like canola

Stir Fry Sauce

1 tsp ginger
1 tsp garlic 2 cloves minced
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup soy sauce we use low sodium
2 tbsp hoisin sauce
1 tbsp brown sugar
1/2 tsp crushed red pepper flakes

Stir Fry Vegetables

4 cups broccoli florets
1/2 cup onion thinly sliced
2 cups mushrooms white or cremni, sliced

Garnish

2 green onions sliced thinly, green and white parts

Instructions

Meat

Dry meat with a paper towel and slice thinly cross the grain. It helps to put the meat in the freezer for 10 to 15 minutes first which firms the meat up and makes it easier to slice.
In a medium-sized bowl add the meat and the corn starch together.
Add 2 tablespoons of the cooking oil to a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. When hot, add the meat. Cook on both sides until browned. Remove the meat back to the bowl.

Stir Fry Sauce

Add 1 tablespoon of neutral oil to a large skillet or a wok and add the Stir Fry Sauce ingredients. Once the sauce starts to boil, reduce the heat and cook for 2 minutes. Transfer the sauce to a small bowl. Don't worry if the sauce doesn't look thick at this point. It will thicken once the meat mixture is added.

Stir Fry Vegetables

Add the remaining tablespoon of oil to the large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Cook until the vegetables soften slightly or are al-dente, approximately 5 to 7 minutes.

Finish

Add the cooked meat to the vegetables and pour the Stir Fry Sauce over the meat and vegetables. Cook over medium heat until the sauce is at your desired thickness.
Stir in sliced green onion.
Serve immediately over rice or noodles.
