Beef with Broccoli

Just tried this tonight. It was "good" on the Loren rating scale. The scale is as follows: thumbs down, OK, good, very good, great.

Beef with Broccoli
Makes 4 servings

¾ lb beef top round, trimmed of all visible fat, cut into thin strips
2T cornstarch
½ c low sodium beef broth
2T oyster sauce
2T honey
2T reduced-sodium soy sauce
1T dry sherry
1 lb broccoli crowns, cut into florets (4c)
2t canola oil
1T minced peeled fresh ginger
3 garlic cloves, minced

1. Combine beef with 1T cornstarch; toss well to coat and set aside. Combine the remaining 1T cornstarch, the broth, oyster sauce, honey, soy sauce, and sherry in a small bowl; set aside.
2. Bring a lage pot of water to a boil; add the broccoli and cook until crisp-tender, 3-4 min; drain.
3. Heat a nonstick wok or a large, deep skillet over med-high heat until a drop of water sizzles. Swirl in the oil, then add the beef. Stir-fry until just cooked through, 3-4 min; transfer to a plate.
4. Add the ginger and garlic to the wok and stir-fry until fragrant, about 20 seconds. Add the broth mixture and cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture boils and thickens, about 1 minute. Add the beef and broccoli and cook until heated through, about 1 minute.
