Beef and Broccoli

Another recipe from the recipe exchange. So easy and faster to make than I thought.

Saute over medium-high heat:
1 tsp. ground ginger
1/2 lb beef steak or roast, thinly sliced
1 1/2 tsp garlic minced ( or 3/4 tsp. garlic powder)
1-2 green onions, sliced

In a separate bowl, combine the following:
2 tsp sugar
1 Cup chicken broth
1/4 Cup oyster sauce

Once the meat is cooked add 1-2 heads of broccoli, chopped (or 1/2 bag of frozen)

Add the sauce to meat. Thicken with a mixture of 1-2 TB cornstarch and 1/2 Cup cold water.

Makes 2-4 servings. Serve with rice.

Notes:
You can also try some thinly sliced carrots, add with broccoli.

Frozen broccoli cooks a little faster, so be careful that it doesn't get mushy.

If you don't want to use beef, you can substitute with chicken, pork, or shrimp!

Oyster sauce is found in the Asian section at most grocery stores. It comes in a glass bottle. Any brand is good.
