Easy Beef and Broccoli with Venison Stir Fry

This Venison Stir Fry is a spicy twist on your classic Asian beef and broccoli stir fry using venison meat. Don’t have venison? Lean beef works just as well! 

Ingredients

For the Sauce

1 c beef broth (we prefer low sodium)

1 Tbsp mirin or cooking sherry

1 Tbsp oyster sauce

1 tsp soy sauce

1 tsp sugar

¼ tsp pepper

For the Stir Fry

½ lb venison steak or beef steak, cut into 1 inch chunks

4 c broccoli, chopped into 1 inch pieces

1 Tbsp sesame oil, divided

2 garlic cloves, sliced

1 tsp fresh ginger, diced

2 Tbsp corn starch mixed with 2 Tbsp water

White rice, cooked (for serving)

Instructions

• In a wide bowl, mix all the sauce ingredients together. Add the chopped steak and marinade while you start the rice (for serving) and prepare the broccoli.
• Place the broccoli in a large saucepan with ½ cup of water. Cover and bring to a boil over high heat. Steam the broccoli for 2-3 minutes, until brightly colored. Drain and set aside.
• Heat 1 tsp of sesame oil in a large wok over high heat. Strain the beef from the marinade and add it to the wok (reserving marinade). Stir fry the beef until cooked through. Remove the beef from the wok.
• Add 2 tsp oil to the wok and reduce the heat to medium high. Add the garlic and ginger. Sauté for 15 seconds. Add the broccoli and stir fry for 1 minute.
• Return the heat to high. Add beef and reserved marinade to the wok. Heat until the sauce begins to simmer.
• Add the cornstarch and water mixture to the wok. Stir and simmer until the sauce has thickened, 2-3 minutes.
• Taste your stir fry and add soy sauce as desired.
• Serve with steamed rice.
