Beef and Spinach Stir- Fry
Ingredients
- 1 pound beef chuck roast trimmed
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 2 teaspoons grated fresh ginger
- 1 small onion thinly sliced
- 6 ounces spinach chopped
- 1/3 cup low sodium beef broth
- 2 tablespoons ketchup
- freshly ground black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Cut the steak across the grain (diagonally) into very thin slices; place in a medium bowl, add cornstarch and toss to coat. Heat the oil in a wok or large skillet until almost smoking; add beef and gingerroot and stir-fry for 2 minutes or until beef is no longer pink on the outside; transfer to a plate. Add the onion to the wok or skillet and stir-fry until softened, 1 to 2 minutes. Add spinach and stir-fry until just wilted, about 30 seconds. In a small bowl, combine broth and ketchup; blend well then add to the pan, along with the browned beef; stir-fry until the sauce is heated through and coats the beef and vegetables, 2 to 3 minutes; season to taste with pepper.
