Beef and Broccoli Stir - Fry

Take-out is nice, however, this stir-fry is wonderful. Below, we have a tendency to break down precisely what makes it therefore sensible. (Spoiler: it's all concerning the correct ingredients.)

Low-Sodium chicken stock

Why not simply plain previous chicken broth? The unhappy truth is, your average boughten chicken stock is LOADED with salt. Not solely is it unhealthy, it conjointly adds heaps of salt to your stir-fry. Remember, it's a lot of easier to feature salt than it's to require it away. we have a tendency to prefer to take seasoning into our own hands—that's why we have a tendency to choose the low-sodium stuff.

Low-Sodium condiment

Soy sauce adds tons a lot of to a dish than salt. it's heaps of flavor, too! a bit like the chicken stock, we have a tendency to favor, to begin with, a less salty dish and work our far. we wish all the flavor condiment provides, however, we have a tendency to really don't desire to over salt our dinner. 

Flank cut

Flank steak is super tender and quick-cooking, creating it the proper alternative for a stir-fry. a fast spin in a very hot frypan or pan can end in tender, juicy, bite-sized items of cut. professional tip: if you wish golden (not gray) cut, do not crowd the pan. If the items of meat area unit too close, all the wet they unleash can evaporate and steam the meat, turning it grey and soupy. If needed, cook cut in 2 batches to make sure every bit includes an utterly golden crust.

Broccoli

It's not a beef and broccoli stir-fry while not broccoli! If you wish yours on the tender facet, steam it initial. That way, it's going to solely want a few minutes within the sauce, and you'll be able to keep your cut as rare as you would like. If you favor a lot of-of a crunch, throw it in raw! conjointly, if you are looking for a few additional vegs, some sliced bell peppers or quartered bok choy would be delicious additions.
