Ingredients

12 ounces broccoli spears, stems peeled and cut into 1/4-inch dice, flowers cut into bite-size pieces
1 cup coconut milk
1/2 cup beef broth
1 tablespoon red curry paste
6 teaspoons vegetable oil
1/4 teaspoon fresh minced chili pepper
1 medium onion, sliced thin
2 large stems bok choy, cut into 1/4-inch slices
1 marinated flank steak (see above), sliced thinly against the grain

Steps:

Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil. Add the broccoli stems and boil for 2 minutes. Add the florets and boil for 1 minute. Drain and plunge into a bowl of ice water. Drain and set aside.
Combine the coconut milk and beef broth, then whisk in red curry paste. Heat 3 teaspoons of the oil in a wok or large skillet over high heat. Add the chili pepper and cook briefly. Add the onion and stir for 1 minute. Add the broccoli florets and stems and toss for 2 minutes. Add the bok choy and stir over high heat for 4 minutes. Remove from wok and set aside.
Wipe out the wok. Return to high heat, add the remaining oil and when it is hot, quickly stir-fry the beef. Add the vegetables and toss.
Working quickly, pour the coconut milk mixture over the beef and vegetables, stirring constantly to distribute well. Serve over steamed basmati rice.
