Beef and Broccoli

Directions

1. In a large pot bring water to a boil. Add the broccoli and cook until tender-crisp, about 3 minutes. Drain and set aside.
2. In a mixing bowl, combine the broth, soy sauce, hoisin sauce, plum sauce, sesame oil and 1 tablespoon cornstarch.
3. Slice the steak across the grain into ¼ inch thick slices. Then cut slices into large bite-sized pieces. Toss with remaining cornstarch.
4. In a large skillet heat the peanut oil over medium-high heat. Add the jalapeno, garlic, and green onion; cook about 2 minutes, then add the steak and cook 2 minutes more, steak will be barely pink. Remove to a plate and discard the excess oil.
5. Add the broth mixture to the skillet and cook until thickened, about 3 minutes. Stir in the meat and broccoli. Heat until cooked though, about 3 minutes. Can be served with white rice.
