Ingredients
1 head broccoli
500 g top sirloin steak, or stir-fry strips
1/2 cup teriyaki sauce, or 1/4 cup each hoisin and soy sauces
2 to 3 tsp steak spice
2 tsp cornstarch
1 tbsp vegetable oil
250-g pkg sliced button mushrooms, about 4 cups
1/3 cup water
Instructions
Cut stems from broccoli. Peel, then slice into thin rounds. Slice florets into bite-size pieces. Trim excess fat from beef, then slice into stir-fry strips, about 1/4 inch (0.5 cm) wide. Measure teriyaki sauce into a small bowl and stir in steak spice and cornstarch. If you aren¿t using cornstarch, the sauce will still taste good but will be a little thinner.
Heat oil in a wok or large wide saucepan over medium-high heat. Add beef and stir-fry just until it changes colour, 2 minutes. Remove to a bowl. Add mushrooms to pan and drizzle in more oil, if needed. Stir-fry just until mushrooms start to take on colour, 2 minutes. Add to meat in bowl. Pour water into pan. Scrape up and stir in any brown bits from pan bottom. Add broccoli florets and stems. Stir-fry until water evaporates, 2 to 3 minutes. Return meat and mushrooms to pan. Drizzle teriyaki mixture overtop. Stir constantly until hot, 2 to 3 minutes. Delicious with rice or noodles.
