Beef and Broccoli Stir Fry

This is a quick weeknight meal for when your tired but still want a good supper. You can use shrimp or chicken instead of beef if you want or different vegetables. Just make sure you have everything ready and cut up before you start because stir fry's come together very quick! Serve on its own or over rice or noodles.

What you need
10 to 12 oz (300 to 375 g) strip-loin steak ( I used a flat iron steak)
1 head broccoli
2 portobello mushrooms
2 yellow peppers
1/3 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup sherry
1 tbsp each brown sugar and cornstarch
2 tbsp grated fresh ginger
3 garlic cloves , minced
1 tsp dark sesame oil

CUT meat into thin bite-sized strips. Slice broccoli florets from stalks. Cut florets into pieces and slice the upper stalks into thin rounds. Cut and discard stem from each mushroom, and thickly slice caps. Slice peppers into thin strips.
IN a small bowl, stir soy with sherry, brown sugar, cornstarch, ginger, garlic and sesame oil until cornstarch is dissolved.
COAT a large frying pan or wok with vegetable oil and set over medium-high heat. Add steak and stir-fry until it changes colour, 2 to 3 min. Add vegetables. Stir the sauce and pour in. Stir-fry until vegetables are tender crisp, 4 to 5 min
