Beef & Broccoli

One of the blogs I follow on a regular basis is Kathryn Lovett's Blog-My Vegan Journey she posts daily and has a nice blog with great recipes. I saw this Broccoli Beefless and had to tweak it. I mainly changed a few things to use what I had on hand and to suit our tastes (I used the entire red bell). Thanks for an awesome recipe Kathy!

This is a quick and delicious dish that we will certainly be making again!!!!

Marinade:

• 1/4cup soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons garlic, minced
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon agave
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon canola oil

Stir Fry Ingredients:

• 2 tablespoons cornstarch
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 package Gardein Beefless Tips
• 2 tablespoons canola oil
• 4 cups fresh broccoli florets
• 1 medium sweet onion, cut into wedges
• 1 small red bell pepper, cut into chunks
• 4 green onions, cut in 1/2 slices
• 1/4 cup soy sauce
• 3 tablespoons brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon freshly grated ginger
• 1/2 cup water
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil

•  Hot cooked rice

In a ziplock bag add the marinade ingredients and the Gardein Beefless Tips.

Marinade for at least 10 minutes or until you get all the other ingredients prepped. In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce, brown sugar, ginger, cornstarch and water until smooth; set aside.

In a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat, stir-fry the Gardein and marinade in 1 tablespoon oil until lightly browned; about 5 minutes; remove and set aside.

In the same skillet, stir-fry broccoli, onion, garlic and bell pepper in remaining oil for 4-5 minutes.

Return beef to pan.

Add sesame oil and stir fry for a minute. Add scallions and stir fry for one minute.

Add the liquid mixture from the bowl to the skillet.

Cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Serve over rice.

Enjoy!!!
