Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup chicken broth
- 3 tablespoons dry sherry
- 1/2 cup orange juice
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- 3/4 pound beef sirloin, thinly sliced
- 2 teaspoons olive oil, divided
- 1 head broccoli, cut into florets
- 1 scallion, thinly sliced
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- Cooked basmati rice, for serving
Instructions:
-
In a medium bowl, whisk together chicken broth, sherry, orange juice, soy sauce, ginger, cornstarch, sesame oil, and red pepper flakes until well combined.
-
Add thinly sliced beef to the marinade, tossing to coat evenly. Let it marinate for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
-
Heat 1 teaspoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated beef to the skillet, reserving the marinade. Cook the beef, stirring occasionally, for about 3 minutes, or until it’s nicely browned. Then, remove the beef from the skillet and set it aside on a plate.
-
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 teaspoon of olive oil. Add broccoli florets, sliced scallions, and minced garlic. Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 2 minutes.
-
Add 2 tablespoons of water to the skillet and cover it. Let the broccoli steam for about 2 minutes, or until it’s tender-crisp.
-
Uncover the skillet and add the reserved marinade to the broccoli mixture. Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 3 minutes, or until the sauce boils and thickens slightly.
-
Return the cooked beef to the skillet and toss everything together. Cook for an additional 2 minutes, or until the beef is heated through.
-
Serve the Orange Beef & Broccoli over cooked basmati rice and enjoy the burst of flavors!
