Preparation

Step 1

Combine soy sauce, sherry, cornstarch, and sugar in medium bowl. Stir in beef and set aside for about 15 minutes.

Heat large nonstick skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add 1 tsp of the oil. Swirl to coat. Add half the beef in a single layer and leave until seared, about 1 minute. Stir fry beef until no longer pink, about 1 minute. Remove. Add 1 tsp oil and repeat with remaining beef.

Add remaining 2 tsp oil to pan. Add broccoli, bell pepper, and mushrooms. Stir fry 2 minutes. Make a well in the center and add white part of scallions, ginger, garlic, and pepper flakes. Stir fry with vegetables 1 minute. Add 1/4 cup water and cover pan until broccoli is just done, 3 minutes. If cooking in a wok, use a large lid, setting it right down into the wok, if necessary, to cover and steam vegetables.

Return beef to pan and add stir fry sauce. Cook until sauce thickens slightly, 1-2 minutes. Sprinkle with scallion greens and serve.
