Beef and Broccoli

Pinterest & Chinese food, 2 of my favorite things :)  I have been yearning for Chinese food, but since going GF it has been virtually impossible.  My whole family liked this recipe, so it is a keeper for us!

Ingredients:
Marinade:
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp sugar (or Stevia)
1 tbsp cornstarch
1 tbsp low sodium soy sauce (I have not found a GF low sodium soy sauce, so I just cut it with a bit of water to reduce the saltiness)
1 tbsp water
2 tbsp vegetable oil (I never use vegetable, corn or canola are  fine)
1.5 lbs flank steak cut into small cubes

Main dish:
1.5 cup low sodium soy sauce (cut the GF soy sauce with a little water or it will be too salty, or use less soy sauce)
2 tbsp brown sugar (or Splenda brown sugar if that's how you roll)
4 cloves of garlic, minced
2 tbsp GF flour
1 tbsp cooking Sherry
3 tbsp vegetable oil (again, I never use this, I use corn or canola)
2 heads of broccoli crowns (or if you are like me and forgot to prepare, string beans work too)

 Directions for marinade: 
Mix together all of the ingredients making sure that the meat is thoroughly coated and put in a large bowl or ziploc in the fridge for at least 1 hour.  The longer you let it marinate the more tender it will be.

Directions for main dish:
Stir together all of the ingredients except the oil until smooth.  Heat 2 tbsp oil in a large pan or wok.  Add broccoli and cook for 3 minutes or until tender, remove and transfer to plate.  Reduce heat to medium-high.  Add marinated meat and half of the sauce mixture to the pan, stirring often, and cook meat until it is no longer pink.  Stir in broccoli and remaining sauce.  Cook for an additional minute or two.
