Hot and Tangy Broccoli Beef

My delicious Hot and Tangy Broccoli Beef is the perfect stir-fry. To me, that means just a couple of star ingredients, plus a stand-out sauce. In this case, it’s fresh broccoli, sliced thin and cooked so it still has a bite and tender and juicy and beef strips, coated in a delicious sweet, sour and salty sauce. Buy a tender beef steak for this recipe, like rib eye, sirloin or flank. It will be cooked in the sauce so it stays juicy and soft.

The sauce is the perfect Asian combination of soy, rice vinegar and sugar, thickened with cornstarch and spiced up with just a sprinkle of red pepper flakes. Hot and sizzling from the wok, this beats a takeout any day!
