Beef with Broccoli-A Yummy, Easy Dinner w/out the take out calories!

Here is a great Beef with Broccoli recipe we found and tweeked a bit.  We had it last week and LOVED it!  Wanted to pass it on to you all.  Hope you enjoy it!  If you try it, let us know what you think.

Prep Time: 10 minutes + 1 hour for marinade Cook Time: 8 minutesFirst, marinate the meat:

• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 1 tsp sugar
• 1 tbsp cornstarch
• 1 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
• 1 tbsp water
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 1/2 lbs extra lean sirloin steak, sliced into thin strips

1. 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.

• 1/2 c low-sodium soy sauce
• 2 tbsp brown sugar
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tbsp flour
• 1 tbsp sherry (I didn't want to buy sherry for just 1tbsp, so I found out you can use regular wine, and, of course, I ALWAYS have wine on hand!)
• cooking spray
• 6 heads broccoli, crowns only (The original recipe called for only 2 heads, but it wasn't near enough broccoli, so we added a lot more!  We like a lot of veggies with our meat!)

1. In a small bowl, stir together the soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic, flour and sherry until smooth. Set aside.
2. In a large wok or saute pan, spray cooking spray heated over medium heat. Add broccoli and saute 3 minutes, stirring often. Transfer broccoli to a plate.
3. Spray the hot pan with more cooking spray. 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 over brown rice or quinoa.
