Health and fertility benefits of Mongolian Glazed Steak with Broccoli

Broccoli is one of the non-starchy vegetables that has a very low glycemic index (GI), which is beneficial for reducing blood sugar levels. Broccoli is also a source of DIM (Diindolymethane). Diindolymethane is very effective in reducing the testosterone levels in the body, an action that would automatically curb male dominant features and regulate the estrogen levels in the system.

Ingredients

4 (8-oz.) sirloin steaks
1/2 c. soy sauce
Freshly ground black pepper
1/4 c. corn starch
vegetable oil
1 tsp. grated ginger
3 garlic cloves, minced
1/4 c. brown sugar
1 tbsp. ketchup
1 lb. broccoli florets
kosher salt

Instructions

Preheat grill. Meanwhile in a rimmed sheet pan place steak; pat dry thoroughly and add 1 tablespoon soy sauce over each steak. Massage into steak on all sides. Season with black pepper. Transfer steaks onto a clean rimmed sheet pan in a single layer. Sprinkle steaks evenly with cornstarch on both sides. Shake off any excess. Brush lightly with vegetable oil.
In a small bowl mix together 1 tablespoon vegetable oil, ginger, garlic, brown sugar, and ketchup. Set aside.
Place steak on grill; cook 3 to 4 minutes on each side. Brush glaze on both sides of steak and cook 1 more minute on each side until glaze is caramelized. Transfer to a plate to rest for 5 minutes.
Meanwhile bring a large pot of water to boil; season with salt. Add broccoli and cook until just tender, 2 minutes. Drain well. Plate steak with broccoli and extra sauce if desired; serve immediately.
