One of the highlights on our menu this week was this Steak and Broccoli Stir Fry creation we made using Food Network Magazine's mix and match stir fry sheet from their March issue.

It looks like this:

We chose to do a combo of steak, broccoli, snow peas, peanuts, green onions and brown sauce, served over rice.

Here's what you need:

Protein: 3/4 pound flank steak, trimmed and thinly sliced against the grain

Marinade: 1 egg white, 1 Tbsp sherry, 1 Tbsp cornstarch

Vegetables: 2.5 cups broccoli, 1/2 cup whole snow peas, bundle of green onions

Sauce: 1/2 cup chicken broth, 1 Tbsp cornstarch, 1 Tbsp soy sauce, 1 Tbsp hoisin sauce, 1 Tbsp sherry (whisked together)

Other: Vegetable oil, 2 cloves minced garlic, 2 Tbsp minced ginger, pinch salt & sugar, peanuts

Here's how you do it:

-Slice the steak up and make the marinade by mixing together above ingredients with a whisk. Toss with the steak and cover. Refrigerate 1 hour.

-Drain the excess marinade from the steak. Place everything you need near the stove.

-Start your rice or noodles to accompany.

-Heat 1/4 inch oil in a wok or skillet over medium heat. Add the steak and cook through. Transfer to a plate and drain on paper towels. Discard the oil in pan and wipe out.

-Heat pan over high heat 1-2 minutes. Add 2 Tbsp oil, the 2 cloves minced garlic, 2 Tbsp minced ginger (or 1.5 tsp dried ginger), 2 minced green onions and a pinch each of salt and sugar. Stir-fry about 30 seconds.

-Add the broccoli, and stir-fry a few more minutes, then add the snow peas.

-Add the steak and sauce and stir until thick. Garnish with peanuts and remainder of green onions before serving over rice.

It was really good and the broccoli was especially delicious! Enjoy!
