Make Your Own Take Out Beef and Vegetable Stir Fry

My take on Beef and Broccoli take out. Ray and Chay requested more vegetables. Who replaced my kids? Serve with white rice.

For the beef

1/2 cup beef broth

3 T light soy sauce

3 T dark soy sauce

1 T toasted sesame oil

1 t brown sugar

1 t cornstarch

1 t dried onion powder

1/2 t dried garlic powder

1/4 t ground ginger

Pinch of Chinese 5-Spice powder

Minced garlic and fresh ginger

1 lb flank steak or beef round cut into strips across the grain (place in freezer for 30 minutes before slicing to make it easier to slice thin)

For the vegetables

1 T oil

Whatever vegetables you want, chopped (we use zucchini, carrots and broccoli)

1. Marinate the beef with the ingredients listed above in a medium bowl. Stir in the beef and place in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. 

2. Heat the oil in a large wok over medium heat. Add the vegetables and stir fry until tender, about 5 minutes. Remove from the pan and set aside.

3. Increase the heat to medium-high. Add the beef with the marinade to the hot pan and stir-fry until beef is just cooked, 30 seconds to 2 minutes.

4. Stir the vegetables back in and simmer for 30-60 seconds until sauce has thickened.
