Beef and Broccoli

This is another family favorite recipe. It was adapted from a recipe on All Recipes. I usually BBQ sirloin steak one night and cook an extra steak or two. Then another night that week I’ll use the leftover steak to make Beef and Broccoli. I often add other vegetables to change it up a bit. This time I just threw in a few shredded carrots.

My family loves stir fry served over ramen noodles, but my college son took my case of ramen noodles when he left for school two weeks ago (he did a lot of shopping in my pantry before he left), so we had it over fettucine instead. Reduce the amount of red pepper flakes if you don’t like spicy food.

Beef and Broccoli

1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 can beef broth
2 tablespoons brown sugar
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 pound boneless round steak, cut into bite size pieces
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
4 cups chopped fresh broccoli

In a small bowl, combine flour, broth, sugar, and soy sauce. Stir until sugar and flour are dissolved. In a large skillet or wok over high heat, cook and stir beef 2 to 4 minutes, or until browned. Stir in broth mixture, ginger, garlic, and broccoli. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat. Simmer 5 to 10 minutes, or until sauce thickens.
