Light Chinese Beef and Broccoli

Ingredients:

3 medium scallion(s), thinly sliced
2 clove(s) garlic clove(s), minced
1 Tbsp ginger root, fresh, peeled and minced
1 Tbsp orange zest, grated
3/4 pound(s) lean sirloin beef, trimmed of fat and cut into 2 x 1/4-inch strips
3 cup(s) broccoli, fresh, or frozen broccoli florets, thawed
2 Tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
2 Tbsp fresh orange juice
1 tsp cornstarch
1 Tbsp water, cold

Instructions:

Spray a large nonstick wok or high-sided skillet with nonstick spray and set over high heat until a drop of water sizzles. Add the scallions, garlic, ginger, and orange zest; stir-fry until softened and fragrant, about 1 minute.

Add the beef strips and stir-fry until browned, about 3 minutes. Add the broccoli and stir-fry 2 minutes. Sir in the soy sauce and orange juice; bring to a simmer and cook 20 seconds.

Combine the cornstarch and water in a small bowl until smooth. Add the cornstarch mixture to the wok and cook, stirring constantly, until thickened, about 30 seconds. Yields 1 cup per serving.
