Ginger Beef Stir-Fry

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredients
3/4 cup / 175 ml orange juice
1 tbsp / 15 ml sodium-reduced soy sauce
1 tbsp / 15 ml unseasoned rice vinegar
1 tbsp / 15 ml honey
1 tsp / 5 ml sesame oil
2.5 tsp / 12 ml cornstarch
2 tsp / 10 ml canola oil
1 lb / 454 g sirloin steak, trimmed of any visiable fat, sliced into 1/2-inch (1 cm) strips
4 cups / 1 L broccoli florets
1 large red bell pepper, cut into thin strips
1.5 tbsp / 22 ml grated fresh ginger root
2 cloves garlic, crushed
4 cups / 1 L cooked brown rice
1 tsp / 5 ml sesame seeds

Directions

In a small bowl, whisk together orange juice, soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, sesame oil and cornstarch.  Set aside.

Heat 1 tsp canola oil in a large skillet over high heat.  When pan is hot, add steak and sauté until brown, about 8 minutes.  Transfer steak to a plate; set aside.

Add remaining 1 tsp of canola oil to the skillet; heat over medium-high heat.  When pan is hot, add broccoli and red pepper. Sauté until tender-crisp, about 6 to 8 minutes.  Add ginger and garlic; sauté for another minute.

Add cooked steak and orange juice mixture to the skillet; increase heat to high. Cook until heated through and sauce begins to boil and thicken, about 2 to 3 minutes.  Remove from heat. Serve on a bed of brown rice; sprinkle with sesame seeds.

Serves 4.
