Health and fertility benefits of Beef 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. One tbsp of honey has a glycemic index (GI) of 55.

Ingredients

1 tablespoon peanut oil
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 tablespoon Sichuan peppercorns
1 pound beef sirloin, sliced to 1/2-inch-thick strips
4 ounce tender baby broccoli florets, blanched (about 1 1/2 cups)
1 tablespoon Shaohsing rice wine or dry sherry
1 to 2 teaspoons honey
1 to 2 tablespoons light soy
1 teaspoon dark soy
1/4 cup hot vegetable stock
1 heaping tablespoon cornstarch, blended with 2 tablespoons cold water

Heat a wok over high heat and add the oil. When the oil begins to smoke, add the garlic and Sichuan peppercorns and stir-fry quickly for a few seconds.

Season the beef and broccoli with the honey, light soy and dark soy.
Add in the vegetable stock and bring the mixture to a boil. Stir in the cornstarch and water mixture and cook to thicken, about 1 minute. Serve immediately.
