Let's Cook
-
Step 1.
In a bowl, combine 2 tablespoons cornstarch, 2 tablespoons water, and 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder until smooth. Add the beef strips and toss to coat evenly.
-
Step 2.
In a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat, heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil. Stir-fry the beef in batches if needed until it reaches desired doneness, about 3-4 minutes for medium. Remove the beef from the pan and keep warm.
-
Step 3.
In the same pan, add the remaining 1 tablespoon vegetable oil. Stir-fry the onion wedges over medium-high heat for 4-5 minutes until softened. Add the broccoli florets to the pan and cook for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the broccoli is tender but still crisp.
-
Step 4.
While the vegetables cook, in a small bowl whisk together 1/3 cup reduced-sodium soy sauce, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, 1 teaspoon ground ginger, the remaining 1 tablespoon cornstarch, and 1/2 cup water until smooth.
-
Step 5.
Return the cooked beef to the pan with the vegetables. Pour the sauce into the pan. Cook and stir the mixture for 2 minutes, until the sauce thickens and coats the beef and vegetables.
