Beef With Broccoli

COMMENTS:
This is like having Chinese takeout without leaving home. Thanks, rainydaygal.com!

INGREDIENTS:
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp sugar
1 tbsp cornstarch
1 tbsp soy sauce (GF)
1 tbsp water
2 tbsp vegetable oil
1 1/2 lbs sirloin steak sliced into thin strips
1/2 c soy sauce (GF)
2 tbsp brown sugar
4 cloves garlic minced
2 tbsp flour
1 tbsp red wine
3 tbsp vegetable oil
2 heads broccoli crowns only

DIRECTIONS:
First, marinate the meat: Whisk together the baking soda, sugar, cornstarch, soy sauce, water, and vegetable oil in a large bowl. Toss the steak with the marinade to coat. Cover and refrigerate at least 1 hour, then proceed below.

In a small bowl, stir together the soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic, flour and sherry until smooth. Set aside.
In a large wok or saute pan, heat 2 tablespoons of the vegetable oil over high heat until shimmering. Add broccoli and saute 3 minutes, stirring often. Transfer broccoli to a plate.
Reduce heat to medium-high. Carefully add the remaining tablespoon of oil to the hot pan. Add the marinated meat and half of the sauce mixture and saute for 3-4 minutes, stirring often, until the meat is cooked through and no longer pink. Stir in the broccoli and remaining sauce. Saute 1 minute more. Serve.

SPECIAL NOTE:
If I have labeled a recipe as GlutenFree or Dairy Free but it appears to have those ingredients in it... that means the recipe is still delicious with substitutes/replacements. Ex: soy milk, lactose-free cheese, Bragg's liquid aminos (for soy sauce), all-purpose gluten free flour (Better Batter is my favorite), etc. Please check your individual ingredients to be sure they are GF or DF, if that is what you need.
