Homemade Beef & Broccoli Stir-Fry
Beef and broccoli is a class Chinese-American dish. With a low sodium chicken broth and soy sauce, we remember it's much easier to add salt than it is to take it away. Sirloin steak is affordable and easy to slice into thin pieces for a nice soaking of the flavor from marinating. The results leave you with a tender and quick cooking bite! Lets get started!

- 3) Return skillet to medium heat. Heat remaining 1 tablespoon oil, then add chili, 1 tablespoon sesame seeds, garlic, green onion, and a pinch salt. Stir and cook until fragrant, 2 minutes. Add in broccoli and cook, stirring occasionally, until bright green, about 4 minutes. Add in broth and let cook, stirring occasionally, until broccoli is tender, 3 to 4 minutes more.
- 4) Add hoisin and 1/3 cup reserved marinade and stir to evenly distribute. Bring to a simmer. Add back cooked steak and toss until evenly coated. Let cook, stirring, until sauce thickens.
