How To Make beef and broccoli

  • 1
    You can use flank steak, top sirloin or tenderloin sliced across grain into thin slices.
  • 2
    Combine all marinade ingredients in a bowl, oyster sauce, 2 teaspoons rice wine, 1/2 teaspoon brown sugar and 2 teaspoons cornstarch.
  • 3
    Combine all seasoning sauce ingredients in a cup, 1/2 teaspoon brown sugar, 1 teaspoon cornstarch dissolved in 2 tablespoons of water and 2 teaspoons of rice wine.
  • 4
    Thoroughly mix beef with marinade and marinate for 30 minutes.
  • 5
    Heat wok over highest heat, when hot, swirl in 2 tablespoons of peanut oil.
  • 6
    Add ginger and salt and toss a few seconds.
  • 7
    Add broccoli and stir fry one minute, then add water, turn heat to med-high, cover and steam until crisp tender.
  • 8
    Uncover and turn heat to high, stir frying until water is evaporated.
  • 9
    Remove broccoli and reserve.
  • 10
    Reheat same wok (without rinsing) and, when hot, add remaining peanut oil.
  • 11
    Add beef slices and stir fry until lightly browned but not cooked through.
  • 12
    Do not stir fry too vigorously or meat will not brown, it is better to press slices against sides of wok to sear.
  • 13
    Add broccoli to wok and toss.
  • 14
    When hot, stir in seasoning sauce and stir until sauce thickens (it\'s a good idea to whisk the sauce in the cup just before you hurl it into the wok).
  • 15
    Turn onto a platter and drizzle sesame oil over the top.
  • 16
    The sugar in the marinade and seasoning sauce acts as a flavor enhancer rather than a sweetener.
