Thai Style Beef and Broccoli Stir-Fry

1. Combine beef broth, fish sauce, cornstarch, lime rind and juice, sugar and sesame oil in large sealable freezer bag. Add beef strips; seal bag, squeezing gently to massage marinade into beef. Refrigerate for up to 30 minutes.
2. Drain meat through colander set over bowl, reserving marinade. Stir-fry beef strips using medium-high heat in hot lightly oiled nonstick skillet for 2 minutes or until browned but still pink inside. Transfer meat to clean bowl.
3. Stir-Fry broccoli in the same skillet for 3 to 5 minutes or until almost tender-crisp. Add baby corn, garlic, ginger and hot pepper; stir-fry for 30 seconds or until corn is starting to brown. Return beef to skillet along with any juices in bowl and reserved marinade. Bring to boil; cook, stirring, for 1 to 2 minutes or until sauce is bubbly and thickened. Stir in tomatoes and heat through. Remove from heat; stir in basil. Serve stir-fry over steamed jasmine rice or Thai rice noodles.

• Time-saver Tip: For time-efficiency, let the meat marinate while you prepare the vegetables.
• Cook's Notes: Wear rubber or plastic gloves when preparing hot peppers, and wash your knife and cutting board in hot soapy water immediately afterward.
