- 2 teaspoons cornstarch

Meat and Vegetables
- 3⁄4 lb flank steak, frozen 15 minutes, halved lengthwise, and sliced thinly across the grain
- 1 tablespoon canola oil, divided
- 1⁄4 cup green onion, thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon garlic clove, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
- 1⁄4 lb fresh shiitake mushroom (can use reconstituted dried)
- 1⁄2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- 6 cups fresh broccoli florets (try not to use frozen)
- 1⁄4 cup lower-sodium chicken stock, divided
-
Sauce
- 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
- 2 tablespoons reduced sodium soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons dry sherry
- 2 teaspoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch

directions
- First prepare the marinade. Combine sherry, soy sauce, cornstarch and sugar in a medium bowl. Add sliced beef; toss gently. Refrigerate 30 minutes.
- Heat a 12-inch skillet (or wok) over high heat until very hot. Add 1 teaspoon canola oil coating pan. Add about half the beef. Cook, without stirring, 1 minute. Remove beef from pan (it will still be pink in places). Repeat with 1 teaspoon oil and remaining beef. Cover beef loosely and set aside. Add remaining 1 teaspoon oil to pan. Stir fry green onions, garlic, ginger, mushrooms, and red pepper flakes until just fragrant, about 45 seconds. Add broccoli and 1/4 cup broth to pan, cover and steam 5 to 6 minutes.
- To prepare sauce, combine all ingredients in a small jar; shake well.
- When broccoli is crisp-tender, return beef and add sauce. Toss gently, cooking until sauce thickens slightly.

<p>We may live without poetry, music and art;</p>
<p> </p>
<p>We may live without conscience and live without heart;</p>
<p>We may live without friends; we may live without books,</p>
<p>But civilized man cannot live without cooks.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>He may live without books -- what is knowledge but grieving?</p>
<p>He may live without hope-- what is hope but deceiving?</p>
<p>He may live without love -- what is passion but pining?</p>
<p>But where is the man that can live without dining?</p>

I've been tracing my roots for at least 10 years. One branch came to America just after the Mayflower in the early 1600s. Others came in the early 1700s, late 1890s. So, my American roots run pretty deep and I am deeply patriotic. Just wish someone had thought to same me some land!</p>
