  • Yield Serves 4

Ingredients

    • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
    • 1 piece (3/4 pound) filet of beef, cut in 3/4-inch strips (about 2 cups)
    • 1/2 teaspoon salt
    • 4 scallions, finely chopped (about 1/4 cup)
    • 2 small garlic cloves, minced
    • 1 pound broccoli, florets cut into small pieces, stalks peeled and cut into 1/4-inch dice
    • 1 cup low-sodium beef broth
    • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
    • 1 tablespoon plus 2 teaspoons cornstarch
    • 1 teaspoon dark sesame oil
    • Cooked rice, for serving

Directions

  1. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over high heat until hot but not smoking. Add beef, and sprinkle with the salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until browned, 3 to 4 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer beef to a plate.
  2. Add scallions and garlic to skillet. Cook, stirring constantly, until golden, about 30 seconds. Add broccoli and 1/2 cup water. Cook, stirring occasionally, until mixture is dry, about 3 minutes. Stir together broth, soy sauce, and cornstarch in a small bowl, and add to skillet. Cook, stirring constantly, until mixture is no longer cloudy, 1 to 2 minutes. Return beef and any juices to pan; cook, stirring often, until beef is heated through, about 1 minute. Remove from heat, and stir in sesame oil. Serve with rice.
