Szechuan Beef and Broccoli

Made this for dinner last night and it was delicious!

Szechuan Beef and Broccoli

1 (1 pound top round steak, sliced against the grain into scant 1/4"-thick strips

1 tsp garlic powder

Salt, to taste

Ground black pepper, to taste

Olive Oil Spray

1 (14 oz) bag frozen broccoli (about 5 cups)

1 tbsp freshly minced garlic

2 tsp toasted sesame oil

1/4 cup bottled Szechuan stir fry sauce

In a large bowl, combine the steak, garlic powder, salt and pepper and toss well until combined.

Place a large nonstick skillet or nonstick wok over high heat. When hot, mist with olive oil spray. Add the broccoli and garlic and cook, stirring, for 4 to 6 minutes, or until the garlic softens and the broccoli is heated through and crisp and tender, being careful not to burn the garlic. Transfer to a large bowl and cover to keep warm.

Return the pan to high heat and add 1 tsp of the sesame oil. When hot, add half of the steak in a single layer, and cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned on both sides, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer the steak to the bowl with the vegetables and recover. Repeat with the remaining 1 tsp sesame oil and steak. Return all the steak and vegetables to the pan and remove from the heat. Add the sauce and mix well to coat. Divide among 4 bowls and serve.
