beef broccoli

When it comes to meat I don't usually deviate from my habit of chicken breasts and ground beef. I just don't really know how to cook meat, so it intimidates me.

But I felt like doing something different and saw a package of 'stir fry beef' at the grocery store so I brought it home and found this Broccoli Beef Stir Fry recipe at Allrecipes.com and followed the suggestions of the first reviewer listed. It's really simple and really fast.

1/8 c flour

1 (10.5 oz) can beef broth

2 T sugar

2 T soy sauce

1 lb boneless round stake, cut in small pieces (I bought about 1/2 lb stir fry beef)

1/4 t ginger powder

2 cloves garlic, pressed

1 head broccoli cut up (4 or 5 cups)

Whisk together flour, broth, sugar, ginger, and soy sauce. Set aside.

In a large skillet cook meat on high heat for 2-4 min. just until browned. Stir in broth mixture, garlic and broccoli. Bring to a boil then simmer for 5-10 minutes, until sauce thickens.
