Beef and Broccoli Stir Fry

Who needs to call out for Chinese -- when you can make it pretty simply at home, and have it be tasty and healthy with leftovers -- if there are only 1 or two of you in the house!  I might serve it over some riced cauliflower.

Ingredients:

• 1 pound Beef Round Steak trimmed of all fat, cut into 1/4 inch julienne strips
• 1 Bunch Broccoli Cut into Florets (About 10 oz.  of Florets or About 4 cups of Florets)
• 3/4 cup Beef Broth
• 2 Medium Onions cut into 1/2 inch wedges
• 1 tablespoon Packed Light Brown Sugar (or you could use the Splenda Mix)
• 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
• 1 tablespoon Soy Sauce
• 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
• 1/2 teaspoon Black Pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon Ground Ginger ( I use fresh grated ginger, but dry works)

Directions:

1. In a small bowl combine the broth, soy sauce, garlic powder, ginger, pepper brown sugar and cornstarch mixing well then set aside
2. Spray a wok or large skillet with coconut oil nonstick spray.  Bring to medium high heat and brown the beef for about 5 minutes, stirring frequently
3. Add onions and broccoli and keep stirring and cook for another 3-5 minutes until onion is tender
4. Add the beef broth mixture and stir constantly for 2-3 minutes until sauce begins to thicken… Serve immediately
5. Add some grated orange zest for color, freshness and a bit of zing to the taste
6. For those who like it spicy, Szechuan Peppers can be added while stir frying
