Ingredients
  

For the Beef Marinade & Broccoli:

  • 1 lb beef tender cut
  • 3-4 cups broccoli florets
  • 1 tbsp low sodium soy sauce
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 tsp cornstarch
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/4 tsp baking soda
  • Oil for cooking the meat

For the Stir-fry Sauce:

  • 1/4 cup oyster sauce
  • 1/4 cup low sodium soy sauce
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 tsp black pepper

Instructions
 

  • Slice the beef against the grain into thin strips and place them in a bowl. Add the soy sauce, cornstarch, black pepper, and baking soda. Mix well to coat the beef and set it aside to marinate.
  • In a separate bowl, combine the ingredients for the stir-fry sauce and set it aside.
  • Heat 1-2 tablespoons of oil in a pan over medium-high heat, then add the beef. Use a spoon to separate the pieces so they don’t overlap. Cook for a few minutes on each side until browned, then remove the beef from the pan.
  • Boil the broccoli in a pot of water for exactly 2 minutes, then drain and set aside. The broccoli may still be firm, but it will soften further when cooked in the sauce. Alternatively, you can steam the broccoli until it remains firm.
  • Add a bit more oil to the pan and reduce the heat to medium. Add the minced garlic and stir until it begins to brown slightly.
  • Pour in the sauce and stir until it thickens.
  • Add the beef and broccoli to the pan, stirring to ensure everything is coated in the sauce. Serve over white rice or noodles.

Notes

This recipe is not specifically for babies, but it can be adjusted for one. After cooking the beef, you can set aside a few pieces before adding the sauce mixture to the pan. Alternatively, you can reserve a small amount of the sauce and dilute it with water to reduce the sodium content.
Be sure to use a large enough pan so the beef pieces don’t overlap.
