Yesterday my kids and I were at the grocery store when they saw a package of schezuan beef with broccoli in the frozen foods section. They asked if I would buy it to try out. I told them that I had some beef at home that would make a perfect stir fry and that I could make this dish at home with fresh ingredients instead of eating a frozen re-heated stir fry. So that's just what I set out to do today. This is my crazy stir fry and some of you may think it has "outrageous" ingredients... like plum or grape jelly. But trust me... it tasted so good and the kids loved it. I had this stir fry done on less than 30 minutes. Remember to prep all your ingredients before starting to stir fry. I know this will be a recipe I will do again and again by the empty plates and happy smiles.
Note: I used a "battering" technique I learned from watching Daphne Oz on The Chew. So this is not your typical deep fried battered beef... it's much lighter and much lower in fat and calories.
Ingredients:
1lb boneless beef ( I used sliced top round steak) cut into small chunks ** cut against the grain
1lb broccoli florets cut into small pieces
canola oil as needed
battering liquid:
1 egg white (from a large egg) beaten until very frothy
1/2 cup cornstarch
3-4 Tbs cool water to make into batter
Sauce:
1 Tbs grated fresh ginger
1 Tbs grated fresh garlic
1/3 cup plum jam (substitute grape jelly)
2-3 Tbs Sambal Olek (Vietnamese Chili Garlic Sauce)
1/4 cup soy sauce
1/3 cup pineapple juice
Directions:
