Ginger Soy Beef Broccoli Rice Bake

Ginger, soy and pear make a savory glaze for beef, broccoli and rice without requiring a bottled stir-fry sauce. The broccoli is briefly blanched so its stems finish with the rice. Toasted sesame oil enters after the skillet leaves the heat, where its aroma survives the bake.
