5-Spice Beef and Broccoli Stir-fry

Ingredients

1 large or 2 small bunches broccoli, florets separated and stems peeled and sliced into rounds
1 bell pepper, sliced
8 oz mushrooms, sliced (portobellos were great)
1 lb sirloin or stir-fry steak, sliced
1/3 cup hoisin
1/3 cup soy sauce
1 t 5-spice powder
2 t cornstarch
1 T vegetable oil

Directions

In a small bowl, stir hoisin, soy, 5-spice, and cornstarch.

Heat oil in a wok or similar pan over medium-high. Add beef and stir-fry just until browned, 2-3 minutes. Add veggies and stir-fry another 2-3 minutes. Add sauce. Stir constantly until sauce thickens, about 3 more minutes.

Notes

Good with pre-cooked chow mein-type noodles; would also work with rice or regular pasta. Can be made with other stir-fry sauces - garlic-black bean sauce was good.
