1 serve = 1 ½ Veg + 2 Protein + 2 Fat
Serves 4

Ingredients

• 720g beef steak, thinly sliced against the grain
• 400g broccoli cut into florets
• 200g onion, thinly sliced
• 3 tbsp (45ml) soy sauce
• 20ml (4 tsp) maple syrup
• 50ml garlic, minced
• 15ml (1 tbsp) ginger minced
• 30g corn starch
• 30ml (2 tbsp) oil
• 250ml (1 cup) beef broth (or vegetable broth)
• 1 green onion sprig, finely chopped
• 20g (4 tsp) sesame seeds, for garnish optional

Instructions

• Prep the beef, broccoli and onion and set aside. In a small bowl, add soy sauce, maple syrup, garlic and ginger; whisk with a fork and set aside. In a bowl, sprinkle beef with corn starch and stir well to coat.
• Add 15ml oil to a large non-stick skillet and heat on medium-high heat.
• Add half of beef and cook for about 3 minutes per side or until nicely browned. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
• Add remaining 15ml oil and repeat this step with remaining half of meat.
• Return skillet to high heat and add broth.
• Scrape up the browned bits from the bottom of the skillet, cover and cook over medium heat for 2-3 minutes.
• Add broccoli and onion, stir and cook for about 3 minutes.
• Add cooked beef. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook for 3-5 minutes, stirring often to combine everything and until sauce has thickened.
• Corn starch from beef will incorporate with the sauce and thicken it.
• But don’t cook too long to overcook the broccoli.
• Garnish with green onion and sesame seeds.
• Serve hot over brown rice or quinoa from your daily allowance
