1 Tbsp. cornstarch 1 c. chicken broth 2 Tbsp. soy sauce 1 Tbsp. sesame oil 1 Tbsp. hoisin sauce (see Note) 2 Tbsp. vegetable oil 1 1/2 lb. boneless top sirloin, cut into thin slices 4 scallions, cut diagonally into 1-inch slices 4 c. cooked rice, warmed
What to do:
1. In a medium bowl, whisk cornstarch, broth, soy sauce, sesame oil, and hoison sauce; set aside. 2. In a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat, heat vegetable oil until hot. Add beef and stir-fry 2 to 3 minutes, or until no longer pink. Remove from skillet. 3. Add broth mixture to skillet and heat until thickened. Add beef back to skillet along with scallions, and heat 2 minutes, or until heated through. Serve over rice.
NOTE: Don't let the hoisin sauce in this simple stir-fry scare you. You can find it at your local supermarket in the Asian food section. It's a sweet and spicy sauce that adds big flavor to the dish and will keep in the fridge for the next time you need it.
