Ingredients

Directions

  1. Trim the fat from the boneless top sirloin.
  2. Cut the steak diagonally across the grain into thin slices.
  3. In a medium bowl, mix together 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger, 1 teaspoon sugar, 3 tablespoons soy sauce, and 2 teaspoons cornstarch.
  4. Add the beef slices to the bowl and toss well to coat evenly.
  5. Let the beef marinate for 5 to 10 minutes.
  6. In a 10-inch skillet, heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil over high heat until shimmering.
  7. Add the marinated beef mixture to the skillet.
  8. Cook, stirring constantly, over high heat until the meat loses its redness, about 5 minutes.
  9. Remove the cooked beef from the skillet and set aside on a plate.
  10. Add 1 cup water, 3/4 cup quick-cooking long-grain rice, and 1 pound fresh broccoli cut into 1-inch pieces to the skillet.
  11. Bring the mixture to a boil.
  12. Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover the skillet, and simmer for 5 to 6 minutes, or until the broccoli is tender and rice is cooked.
  13. Return the beef to the skillet and stir to combine with the rice and broccoli.
  14. Heat to a gentle boil, stirring often.
  15. Reduce the heat and simmer, stirring, for 1 minute to heat through before serving.
