Broccoli Beef

I'll be working with this recipe a bit... it was really good but I used cornstarch and need to not do that... it's 10 carbs that we could all do without. I'll make this again next week more low carb and see if I still like it.

3/4# flank or sirloin, sliced thinly across the grain (do this while it's part way frozen, it sliced much nicer)
3/4# broccoli florets
2 Tablespoons olive or coconut oil
2 cloves garlic, minced or smashed
1 teaspoon cornstarch, dissolved in 1 tablespoon water

For the beef marinade:
1 teaspoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon Chinese rice wine
1/2 teaspoon cornstarch
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper (notice I always use fresh ground, I only have a pepper mill not pepper shaker)

For the sauce:
2 Tablespoons oyster sauce
1 teaspoon Chinese rice wine
1 Tablespoon soy sauce
1/4 cup chicken broth

Marinate the beef: Stir together the beef marinade ingredients, add the beef slices and stir until coated. Let stand 10 minutes. 

Prepare the sauce: Stir together the sauce ingredients in a small bowl.

Steam the broccoli for 3 minutes in the microwave in a covered container with the lid just off a touch in the corner. Drain thoroughly.

Heat a large frying pan or wok over medium high heat until a bead of water sizzles and instantly evaporates upon contact. Add the oil and swirl to coat. Add the beef and spread it out so it's not touching if possible. Let the beef fry for 1 minute. Flip the beef slices over, add the garlic and fry for an additional 30 seconds to a minute, until beef is no longer pink. Pour in the sauce, add the broccoli and bring to a boil. Pour in the dissolved corn starch and cook, stirring, until the sauce boils and thickens. 


Fried "Rice"
10 - 12 oz shredded cauliflower
2 green onions, sliced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoons fresh ginger (I use paste)
2 - 3 Tablespoons soy sauce depends on your taste buds
3 Tablespoon toasted sesame oil
2 eggs, beaten (I use egg beaters most the time)
1 - 2 cups meat of choice, diced

I use the kitchen aide attachments to shred the cauliflower but a food processor or even a hand grater will work. Steam the cauliflower in the mircorwave for 3 minutes, strain well. Then I use 2 tablespoons toasted sesame to cook the whole thing in, I really like toasted sesame oil. Stir fry the green onions for 1 - 1 1/2 minutes add the cauliflower stir fry for about 3 - 4 minutes, stirring constantly. Stir in ginger, 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil, soy sauce and meat if you are using. Stir fry until some what brown. Push all to the side, pour in the eggs and scramble. Mix the eggs and the "rice" mix well until there isn't any large chuncks of egg. 

Now this I have made a lot, but I have never put meat in it. I always make it for a dish like tonight.
