Salt and pepper to taste
Dash white pepper
1 pound broccoli, cut into flowerets (about 4 cups)
1 teaspoon cornstarch
1 teaspoon soy sauce

1/4 cup low sodium chicken broth
1 teaspoon vegetable oil
6 cloves garlic, pressed
1 teaspoon finely chopped ginger root

Toss beef with salt and pepper and a dash of white pepper. Heat a little over an inch of water in a saucepan and place broccoli in the boiling water; heat again to boiling. Cover and cook 2 minutes. The broccoli should be bright green. Immediately rinse with cold water; drain and set aside.
In the meantime, in a small bowl, mix cornstarch and soy sauce, then stir in sesame oil and broth. In a wok or skillet, heat oil over medium high heat. Add garlic and gingerroot, and stir for a few seconds. Quickly add bamboo shoots, then stir in the beef and broccoli and cook till beef is done. Add cornstarch mixture; cook and stir for about 30 seconds until thickened.
Serving Suggestions: Serve on brown rice with a green salad.
