How to Make Beef and Broccoli Stir-Fry for Two

Cooking for one or two? This easy beef and broccoli stir-fry is especially simple to scale down. You can make half the original recipe in the same skillet, with no special equipment or complicated adjustments.

For 2 servings, you'll need:

Juice of ½ orange (about 2 tablespoons)
1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
1 garlic clove, minced
Small pinch of crushed red pepper flakes
6 ounces lean top round steak, thinly sliced
1 teaspoon dark sesame oil, divided
2 cups small broccoli florets
Low-sodium soy sauce, to taste

To prepare: Follow the original recipe instructions, using half the ingredients. Heat ½ teaspoon sesame oil to cook the beef, then use the remaining ½ teaspoon for the broccoli.

The cooking time should be about the same, although the smaller amount of beef may cook a little faster. Be careful not to overcook it.

Small-batch tip: If you don't have a fresh orange, bottled orange juice works fine here. You only need about 2 tablespoons, so there's no need to buy an entire bag of oranges.
