Step 2: After slicing beef thinly and adding cornstarch cook in batches until cooked through.

Step 3: Add broccoli and cook until crisp tender.

Step 4: Add that glorious sauce and watch the magic happen!

Hint: Slicing the beef against the grain will give you a much more tender piece of steak!

Substitutions

• Rice - instead of white rice you can always sub for cauliflower rice, brown rice and even noodles!
• Honey - if you are out of honey, brown sugar is a good alternative
• Sriracha - if you do not like any spice, this can be omitted

Equipment

While a wok is awesome to use...a skillet will work just as well!
