Stir-Fried Beef & Broccoli

This is my take on the recipe provided in Betty Crocker One Dish Meals. The original recipe calls for frozen broccoli, ground ginger spice, & garlic powder - I prefer fresh broccoli, ginger & garlic.

Ingredients:
1/2 cup cold water
2 Tbsps cornstarch
2 Tbsps soy sauce (I use low sodium)
1 lb beef boneless sirloin steak
2 Tbsps vegetable oil
1 tsp freshly chopped ginger
2 garlic cloves, chopped
3 cups fresh broccoli
1 cup orange juice
salt & pepper
4 cups hot cooked rice

Mix water, cornstarch, & soy sauce; set aside
Trim fat from beef
Cut beef with grain into 2" strips; cut strips into 1/8" slices
Heat 12" skillet over medium-high heat
Add oil; rotate skillet to coat bottom
Add beef, ginger, & garlic; stir-fry 3 mins or until beef is brown
Add broccoli; stir-fry 2 mins
Stir in orange juice; heat to boiling
Stir in cornstarch mixture; cook & stir about 1 min or until thickened
Serve beef mixture over hot rice
