HOISIN BEEF, BROCCOLI AND WATER CHESTNUT STIR-FRY
Stir-fries are quick to throw together; just remember to have all your ingredients prepped before you start and some rice cooking. Hoisin sauce, beef and broccoli are a perfect combination. The water chestnuts and almonds add lots of great crunch, something I always love in a stir-fry. I cook the broccoli in the microwave and add it right at the end of the cooking to coat in the sauce - I find this way you don't end up with hard stems and overcooked crowns.

Steps:
- In a 1-cup measuring jug or small bowl, combine broth, hoisin sauce, oyster sauce, sherry, freshly ground pepper, sesame oil and cornstarch; set aside.
- Trim the broccoli and cut into florets. Arrange the broccoli in a glass pie dish or another microwave safe dish. Add 2 tablespoons of water to the dish. Cover with plastic wrap (you could also use paper towel if you don't want to use plastic). Microwave on 100% power for 3 minutes until the broccoli is bright green and tender-crisp. Drain and set aside.
- Heat a large wok or frying pan over high heat. Add half the oil and half of the beef. Stir-fry for 1 to 2 minutes until the beef is browned. Remove from the wok to a plate and repeat with the remaining oil and beef; remove the beef from the wok to the same plate.
- Add the ginger and garlic; stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant. Add the bell pepper, water chestnuts, beef - along with juice that has accumulated on the plate, and the broccoli to the wok. Stir-fry to combine. Stir the broth mixture and add it to the stir-fry. Stir-fry until the sauce thickens and everything is hot - about 1 to 2 minutes.
- Add the green onion and almonds; stir-fry to combine. Serve immediately with steamed jasmine rice and sriracha sauce, if desired. Serves 4 to 6.

THE BEST EASY BEEF AND BROCCOLI STIR-FRY
I clipped this recipe from Taste of Home magazine several years ago and have found it to be the best-tasting easy beef and broccoli stir-fry. It is credited to Ruth Stahl. I often use charcoal chuck steak, which is very tender and lean. I also like that it doesn't call for any unusual ingredients.

BEEF BROCCOLI STIR-FRY
My family often requests this tasty beef and broccoli stir fry. It's great because it combines tender beef and nutritious vegetables in one dish. We enjoy this broccoli beef recipe year-round but especially in summer, when I grow my own broccoli and onions. Plus, it doesn't heat up the kitchen. -Ruth Stahl, Shepherd, Montana
