Ginger-Lemon Beef & Broccoli

In a bowl, whisk a little of the Milk into cornstarch to make a smooth paste. Whisk in remaining Milk, lemon zest, soy sauce, honey and hot pepper flakes; set aside.

Heat a wok or large skillet over high heat. Add half of the butter and swirl to coat. Add beef and stir-fry for 3 min or until browned; transfer to a bowl. Add remaining butter to pan then onion and stir-fry for 1 min. Add broccoli and ginger and stir-fry for 3 min or until onion is tender. Return beef and accumulated juices to pan.

Whisk Milk mixture and pour into pan. Cook, stirring and scraping up brown bits, for about 2 min or until thickened. Stir in lemon juice.

Grate the lemon zest and the ginger on the fine-side of a box cheese grater. Grating the ginger gets the most from the flavour in the short cooking time of a stir fry.
Cut the prep time by buying pre-cut beef stir-fry strips and pre-cut broccoli.

For the Adventurous: Use black bean-garlic sauce instead of soy sauce and bok choy or broccolini instead of broccoli.
