Beef and Broccoli the Healthy Way

So I love to take recipes we all know and make it healthier. Most of us have no clue what real Chinese beef and broccoli should taste like as we are are so used to the americanized version which is also not that good for you.

All ingredients are approximate as I do not follow exact recipes. I cook to taste so if the recipe needs something I add more if needed.

Ingredients:
1.5 lb paper thin sliced grass fed sirloin steak
2 Tbsp freshly grated ginger
2 cups diced shitake mushrooms
4-5 cloves diced garlic
1 diced sweet onion
Fresh or frozen broccoli florets or Gai Lan (chinese broccoli)
Fresh green beans
Sesame seed
Black pepper
1 Tbsp Peanut oil
Olive Oil
2-3 cups Jasmine Rice
1/2-1 cup Reduced Sodium Soy Sauce
4 Tbsp Oyster Sauce

Step 1:
Place beef in a bowl with sesame oil, garlic, soy sauce, oyster sauce, mushroom, and ginger. Mix well and let sit for 1 hour. Remove beef from marinade and place in hot olive oil. Let the meat cook in the hot oil for about 1 minute, put the rest of the marinade in the pan, and reduce for another 10 minutes. Do not use corn starch or flower to thicken as this should be a thin sauce. Turn off the heat place broccoli in and mix around well. Cover with lid and let sit for another 10-12 minutes. The broccoli will steam but not over cook.

Step 2:
While marinading meat cook your rice so its ready to use when the meat is done.

Step 3:
Rinse your fresh green beans, place in some hot olive oil and saute with garlic/black pepper until slightly crunchy. Add sesame seed for the last few second of cooking.

Use the juices on the bottom of the pan with the meat to spread over the rice and beef for extra flavor

Enjoy!
