Prep time: 15 min
Cook time: 30 min
Total time: 45 min
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 1 cup milk; 2 tablespoons cornstarch; 2 teaspoons grated lemon zest; 1/3 cup soy sauce, reduced-sodium; 1 tablespoon liquid honey; 1/4 teaspoon hot pepper flakes (to taste); 1 tablespoon butter, divided; 1 lb boneless beef grilling steak, cut into thin strips; 1 onion, cut in half and sliced; 6 cups broccoli, pieces; 2 tablespoons fresh gingerroot, grated (or 1 tsp. ground); 2 teaspoons lemon juice, freshly squeezed

Servings: persons

1 cup milk
2 tablespoons cornstarch
2 teaspoons grated lemon zest
1/3 cup soy sauce, reduced-sodium
1 tablespoon liquid honey
1/4 teaspoon hot pepper flakes (to taste)
1 tablespoon butter, divided
1 lb boneless beef grilling steak, cut into thin strips
1 onion, cut in half and sliced
6 cups broccoli, pieces
2 tablespoons fresh gingerroot, grated (or 1 tsp. ground)
2 teaspoons lemon juice, freshly squeezed

1
In a bowl, whisk a little of the milk into cornstarch to make a smooth paste. Whisk in remaining milk, lemon zest, soy sauce, honey and hot pepper flakes; set aside.
2
Heat a wok or large skillet over high heat. Add beef and stir-fry for 3 minutes or until browned; transfer to a bowl. Add remaining butter to pan, then onion and stir-fry for 1 minute. Add broccoli and ginger and stir-fry for 3 minutes or until onion is tender. Return beef and accumulated juices to pan.
3
Whisk milk mixture and pour into pan. Cook, stirring and scraping up brown bits, for about 2 minutes or until thickened. Stir in lemon juice.
4
COOKING TIP: Grate the lemon zest and the ginger on the fine-side of a box cheese grater. Grating the ginger gets the most from the flavor in the short cooking time of a stir-fry.
5
Cut the prep time by buying precut beef stir-fry strips and pre-cut broccoli.
