Beef with Broccoli

For the beef:

1/2 t. sugar 
1 lb. boneless sirloin (cut 1/4 inch thick)

Mix beef with soy sauce and sugar. Marinate for 20 minutes in the refrigerator. 

For the sauce:
1 T. cornstarch
1 T. soy sauce
1 T. apple cider vinegar
1/2 C. beef broth
1 t. sugar
1/8 t. sesame oil

Make sauce while beef is marinating. Add ingredients together; mix well.

For the stir-fry:
2 T. garlic, minced
1/2 onion, minced
1/8 t. red pepper flakes
3/4 C. carrots, julienned
1 bunch broccoli, florets cut into 1-inch pieces
1 can sliced water chestnuts, drained

Heat oil in a 12-inch skillet. Add onions and saute until soft. Add garlic and red pepper, cook until fragrant. Add beef and cook until almost done. Add carrots, broccoli, and water chestnuts. 

Saute for 2 minutes. Add sauce and cover until sauce thickens and broccoli is crisp. 

Serve over cooked brown or white rice. Enjoy!
