Crazy Good Beef And Broccoli

I used date sugar as a substitute (what I had on hand) & only did a tablespoon instead of 1/4 cup. Also used light soya sauce. Smelt really good. I thought it was alright. I wouldn't say I'd like to have it again, but my husband said he'd have it again. May try it with brown sugar next time.

1- Brown Beef: Toss sliced beef in large bowl with corn starch until well-coated; set aside. Heat oil in pan over medium heat for a few minutes or until hot. Add sliced beef and cook until it browns, a few minutes, stirring frequently. Transfer beef to plate. 2- Cook Broccoli: Add broccoli florets and garlic to now-empty pan, and stir. Add beef broth. Stirring occasionally, simmer until broccoli is tender, about 10 minutes. Meanwhile, proceed to next step to prepare sauce. 3- Make Sauce: While waiting for broccoli to cook, stir together all sauce ingredients in bowl until well-mixed. 4- Finish & Serve: Once broccoli is tender, return beef to pan and pour sauce on top. Stir until everything is coated with sauce. Simmer for about 5 minutes to thicken sauce a bit.
