Health and fertility benefits of Beef and Broccoli Stir-Fry
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. One tbsp of honey has a glycemic index (GI) of 55.
Ingredients
1/3 cup soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon sesame oil (I like to use toasted)
1 tablespoon honey
1 clove garlic, finely chopped or grated
1 teaspoon fresh ginger, finely chopped or grated
1 teaspoon cornstarch
1 teaspoon water
1 pound boneless sirloin, tri tip, flank or skirt steak - sliced into 2 x 1/2 inch strips
1 package (14 ounces) frozen or fresh broccoli florets
3 teaspoons vegetable oil
Instructions
Whisk together the soy sauce, sesame oil, honey, garlic and ginger.
Place the beef in a Ziploc bag (or glass bowl), pouring in half of the sauce mixture to coat the beef. Marinate for either 20 minutes on the counter or covered overnight in the fridge.
Whisk the cornstarch and water together and add to the remaining sauce mixture.
Heat a wok or large sauté pan over high heat, add 2 teaspoons oil and add the beef. Cook for 4 minutes and remove beef to a clean bowl.
Add the remaining 1 teaspoon of oil to the pan and cook the broccoli for 2 minutes.
Add the beef back into the pan. Make a well in the center and pour in the sauce. Cook until the sauce is thick and everything is heated through, about 2 minutes.
Serve over brown rice.
