Beef with Broccoli

From the cookbook "weight watchers Take Out Tonight" every thing I have made from this cookbook has been good, and the family liked it , too.

makes 4 servings

3/4lb beef top round, trimmed of visible fat, cut into thin strips (I used extra lean ground beef because its what I had on hand)

2 tbsp corn starch

1/2c low sodium beef broth

2 tbsp oyster sauce

2 tbsp honey

2 tbsp red sodium soy sauce

1 tbsp dry sherry

1 lb broccoli, cut into florets (4 cups)

2 tsp canola oil

1 tbsp minced fresh ginger

3 garlic cloves

(I added one onion, sliced)

combine the beef with 1 tbsp cornstarch, toss well to coat and set aside. combinethe remaining 1 tbsp cornstarch, the broth, oyster sauce, honey, soy sauce and sherry in a small bowl. set aside.

Bring a large pot of water to a boil, add the broccoli and cook until crisp-tender, 3-4 minutes. drain.

heat a non-stick wok over med-high heat until a water drop sizzles. swirl in the oil then add the beef. stir fry till cooked through, 3-4 minutes, transfer to a plate.

(I cooked the oinon at this point, until tender-crisp then..) add the ginger and garlic to the wok and stir fry until fragrant, about 20 seconds. add the broth mixture and cook, stirring constantly, until mixture boils and thickens, about 1 minute. add the beef and broccoli and cook 1 minute, til heated through.
