"To me, life without veal stock, pork fat, sausage, organ meat, demi-glace, or even stinky cheese is a life not worth living." -Anthony Bourdain
Five spice powder can be a bit tricky. Too little and the flavor doesn't come through; too much and the dish will take on a bitter, astringent flavor. Because every spice blend is different, it's a good idea to start low and go slow. For this recipe, you might consider starting with just 1/4 teaspoon and then add more to taste. You might also wait until after the dish has chilled to add more because the cold will dampen the taste slightly.
For all Dr. Gourmet recipes we generally use national brands of spices - we want to use what will be available to you - so 1/2 teaspoon should be a good target.

4 tsp | toasted sesame oil (divided) |
8 ounces | top round steak |
4 cups | water |
1 medium | head broccoli (cut into flowerets) |
2 tsp | Chinese or Dijon mustard |
1 Tbsp | reduced sodium soy sauce or gluten-free tamari sauce |
2 tsp | rice wine vinegar or white wine vinegar |
1/2 tsp | five spice powder |

5 | leaves Thai basil or regular basil (chiffonade) |

Place a large skillet in the oven and preheat to 375°F.
When the oven is hot add 1 teaspoon of the sesame oil to the pan and then the beef.
Roast for about 7 minutes and turn the beef over. Roast for another 7 to 8 minutes then remove from the oven and place the beef on a plate to rest.
While the beef is cooking, place the water in a pan fitted with a steamer basket over high heat.
When the water boils, add the broccoli to the steamer and steam for about 10 to 12 minutes.
Remove and run under cold water until cool and then place in a large mixing bowl in the refrigerator.
Mix together the remaining 3 teaspoons sesame oil, mustard, soy sauce, vinegar, five spice powder and honey until smooth.
Place the green onions and edemame in the bowl with the broccoli.
Add the dressing and toss gently until well coated.
Thinly slice the beef and add it to the bowl along with the basil. Toss gently.
Chill well before serving.
