Teriyaki Beef Stir-Fry

Directions

• Step 1
  Cut the beef into thin strips. In a medium bowl, combine the soy sauce, mirin, and sugar. Add the beef strips. Marinate the beef for 20 minutes.
• Step 2
  Blanch the broccoli florets in boiling water for 2–3 minutes, until the broccoli turns bright green. Plunge the broccoli into cold water to stop the cooking process. Drain thoroughly.
• Step 3
  Heat a wok or skillet until it is nearly smoking. Add 1½ tablespoons oil. When the oil is hot, add the garlic. Stir-fry for 10 seconds.
• Step 4
  Add the steak, laying it flat in the pan. Let sear (brown) briefly, then stir-fry the meat, stirring and tossing for 2 minutes or until it is no longer pink. Remove and drain in a colander or on paper towels.
• Step 5
  Heat 1½ tablespoons oil in the wok or skillet. When the oil is hot, add the ginger. As soon as the ginger starts sizzling, add the broccoli florets. Stir-fry for 1 minute.
• Step 6
  Add the teriyaki sauce. Bring to a boil. Add the beef back into the pan. Cook for another minute, stirring to mix everything together, then serve hot.
