Apricot slices give a burst of fruit flavor to Apricot Beef Stir-Fry. This is a delicious blend with broccoli, onion, cherry tomatoes and strips of beef. —Susan Payne, Corner Brook, Newfoundland

Ingredients

1 can (15 ounces) apricot halves
2 tablespoons cornstarch
3/4 cup beef broth

1-1/2 pounds beef top round or beef sirloin steak, cut into thin strips
1 tablespoon canola oil
2 cups fresh broccoli florets

Directions

Drain apricots, reserving 1/4 cup juice. Cut apricots in quarters and set aside. In a small bowl, whisk the cornstarch, broth, soy sauce and reserved juice until smooth; set aside.
In a large skillet or wok, stir-fry beef in oil for 3 minutes. Add broccoli and onion; stir-fry 2-3 minutes longer or until vegetables are crisp-tender. Stir sauce and add to the pan. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Add tomatoes and reserved apricots; cook until heated through. Serve over rice. Yield: 6 servings.

Something about the mix up of flavors was off. I don't think I would make again.

Reviewed on Nov. 27, 2010 by Hannah0418

it was alright - but probably won't make it again. i doubled recipe - instead of 4 cups broccoli, i included asparagus and sliced carrots with the broccoli. just thought it was kinda blah, could use more flavor.

Loved this recipe, I'll be making this many times over. It was sweet and salty and had a kick. Although, I couldn't tell my family it had apricot jelly in it or they would have nixed the whole dinner, ha.
