Super-Healthy Beef and Broccoli

An oriental-style dish,adapted from a low-fat cookbook. The original recipe was a stir-fry but I like to use enough stock that the finished dish has something of a sauce.

• Ready In: 30 mins
• Serves: 4

Ingredients

• 10 -12  ounces lean beef, strips
•  cooking spray
• 12  ounces broccoli
• 2  large carrots
• 6  mushrooms
• 1⁄2  an onion (or use spring onions)
•  soy sauce
• 1  teaspoon brown sugar
• 380  ml  beef stock (I used 2 oxo cubes. If you want just use one and half the liquid, result, a drier dish.)
• 1  teaspoon  minced garlic
• 1  teaspoon ground ginger

Directions

1. Chop up all the vegetables into stir-fry sized pieces. Strips look good but I find that slices are easier.
2. Spray a large pan with the spray oil and fry beef strips for about 5 minutes Remove from heat.
3. Add beef stock and veg, along with ginger and garlic. Stir.
4. Return to heat and cover. Simmer on a high heat for another 3 mins, till some of the stock is evaporated.
5. Add soy sauce and sugar, stir well, and stir on the hob for a few more mins until cooked to your liking. You could serve this dish with noodles or boiled rice.
