STIR-FRIED BEEF, BROCCOLI AND PECANS IN GARLIC SAUCE



Stir-Fried Beef, Broccoli and Pecans in Garlic Sauce image

This Asian-flavored recipe is adapted from a mailing I got from The Splendid Table, a recipe program on National Public Radio. The original used walnuts rather than pecans and dry sherry rather than mirin. I actually marinated the beef in the soy sauce-mirin mixture a couple hours before cooking. Be sure to use TOASTED sesame oil--it is used for its taste and regular sesame oil is just not the same.
