Recipe information

  • Yield

    Serves 2

Ingredients

8 ounces lean well-trimmed top sirloin, cut into 1/2x1/2x2-inch strips
2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
1 tablespoon dry Sherry
2 large garlic cloves, minced
2 teaspoons minced peeled fresh ginger
1/2 teaspoon oriental sesame oil
1 ounce dried shiitake mushrooms
2 cups hot water
8 ounces broccoli florets
1 teaspoon cornstarch
1 teaspoon vegetable oil
2 green onions, cut into 2-inch pieces
Additional low-sodium soy sauce

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Combine beef, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, Sherry, garlic, ginger and sesame oil in medium bowl. Cover; chill 1 to 2 hours.

    Step 2

    Soak mushrooms in 2 cups hot water until soft. Drain mushrooms, reserving liquid. Cut mushroom caps into quarters; discard stems. Combine broccoli and mushroom liquid in shallow medium saucepan. Cover and boil until broccoli is just crisp-tender, about 3 minutes. Using slotted spoon, transfer broccoli to plate. Boil liquid until reduced to 3 tablespoons, about 4 minutes. Pour liquid into small bowl and cool completely. Whisk cornstarch into mushroom liquid. Set aside.

    Step 3

    Heat vegetable oil in heavy large nonstick wok or skillet over high heat until almost smoking. Add mushrooms and stir-fry 1 minute. Add beef mixture and green onions and stir-fry until beef is almost cooked through, about 3 minutes. Toss in broccoli and stir until broccoli is heated through, about 1 minute. Pour in cornstarch mixture and stir until liquid boils and thickens, about 30 seconds. Transfer to platter. Season generously with pepper and serve, passing soy sauce separately.

Stir-Fried Phở Noodles With Beef
This dish is not only a quick meal option but also a practical way to use leftover phở noodles when you’re out of broth.
Beef Stroganoff Ramen
This traditional dish of beef, sour cream, and mustard may have originated in Russia, but it’s about time for a version with ramen noodles, don’t you think?
Smothered Italian Sausage
This is what I call a fridge-eater recipe. The key here is getting a nice sear on the sausage and cooking the tomato down until it coats the sausage and vegetables well.
Kung Pao Cabbage With Tofu
Reliable cabbage is cooked in the punchy sauce and then combined with store-bought baked tofu and roasted cashews for a salad that can also be eaten with rice.
Sofrito Bolognese
An ex-boyfriend’s mom—who emigrated from Colombia—made the best meat sauce—she would fry sofrito for the base and simply add cooked ground beef, sazón, and jarred tomato sauce. My version is a bit more bougie—it calls for caramelized tomato paste and white wine—but the result is just as good.
Crispy Oyster Mushroom Skewers With Bok Choy Salad
Oyster mushrooms are a strong all-rounder in the kitchen, seeming to straddle both plant and meat worlds in what they look and taste like when cooked. Here they’re coated in a marinade my mother used to use when cooking Chinese food at home—honey, soy, garlic and ginger—and roasted until golden, crisp, and juicy.
Charred Vegetable Ragù
This sauce is slightly magical. The texture cloaks pasta much like a traditional meat sauce does, and the flavors are deep and rich, but it’s actually vegan!
Spaghetti With Cabbage, Pancetta, and Calabrian Chile
Cabbage is the unsung hero of the winter kitchen—available anywhere, long-lasting in the fridge, and super-affordable. It’s also an excellent partner for pasta.
