BEEF BROCCOLI STIR-FRY

1/2 lb boneless tender beef steak (I like top sirloin or petite sirloin for this)
1 tablespoon cornstarch
4 tablespoons soy sauce, divided
1 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon minced ginger (can use fresh or prepared found in a tube in the produce section)
1 clove garlic, minced or pressed
1 lb fresh broccoli
1 1/4 cups water
4 teaspoons cornstarch
3 tablespoons canola oil, divided
1 onion, chunk cut
Hot Cooked Rice

Prep- 

1. Cut beef across grain into thin slices. To make it easier to cut have steak slightly frozen. In a medium sized mixing bowl, combine 1 tablespoon each cornstarch and soy sauce with sugar, ginger and garlic; stir in beef. Allow to stand for 15 minutes.
2. While beef marinates, cut the florets off the broccoli stems and cut in half (unless it is a small piece already). Peel the stalks and cut into 1/8 inch slices.
3. Chunk onion by cutting in half, and then quarters, then half again, creating long crescent shapes.
3. Combine water, 4 teaspoons cornstarch and remaining 3 tablespoons soy sauce; set aside.

Cook- Moves quickly from here so have everything else ready to go. Set the table, your that close!!

1. Heat 1 tablespoon in a hot skillet or wok over high heat. Add beef and stir-fry 1 minutes; remove.
2. Heat remaining 2 tablespoons of oil in skillet or wok. Add broccoli and onion; stir-fry 4 minutes
3. Stir in beef and soy sauce mixture (give this a quick stir before pouring over beef and veggies). Cook and stir until mixture boils and thickens.

Serve immediately over hot rice.

Makes 2- 3 servings. Can be doubled.
