Skillet Beef and Broccoli

Steps

  1. In a bowl, toss the sliced beef with the soy sauce, cornstarch and baking soda. Let it sit while you prep the rest; the baking soda keeps it tender.
  2. In a measuring cup, whisk all the sauce ingredients until the cornstarch dissolves.
  3. Put the broccoli and water in a 12-inch skillet, cover and steam over medium-high heat until bright green and just crisp-tender.
  4. Tip the broccoli onto a plate and wipe the skillet dry.
  5. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in the skillet over high heat until it shimmers.
  6. Add half the beef in a single layer and sear without moving until browned, then flip and sear the other side. Move it to the plate with the broccoli.

Skillet Beef and Broccoli

Steps, continued

  1. Add the remaining oil and sear the rest of the beef the same way. Thin slices cook through fast and pass the safe 145°F (63°C) in this time.
  2. Lower the heat to medium, add the garlic and ginger to the pan and stir until fragrant.
  3. Whisk the sauce again, pour it in and stir until it bubbles and thickens.
  4. Return the beef, broccoli and any juices to the pan and toss until glossy and hot. Serve over rice.
  5. Cook to 145°F inside (check with a thermometer).
