Beef with Broccoli ingredients
- 1 lb flank steak, thinly sliced against the grain
- 1 tbsp light soy sauce
- 1 tbsp Shaoxing wine
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
- 0.5 tsp sesame oil
- 3 tbsp oyster sauce
- 1 tbsp light soy sauce
- 1 tbsp Shaoxing wine
- 1 tsp sugar
- 0.5 cup beef broth or water
- 1 tsp cornstarch
- 4 cups broccoli florets
- 3 tbsp oil (peanut or vegetable)
- 1 tbsp ginger, minced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
How to make Beef with Broccoli
- Slice 1 lb flank steak against the grain into thin pieces, about 2 inches long. In a bowl, combine the beef with 1 tbsp light soy sauce, 1 tbsp Shaoxing wine, 1 tbsp cornstarch, and 0.5 tsp sesame oil. Mix well and let marinate for at least 15 minutes at room temperature.
- Prepare the sauce by whisking together 3 tbsp oyster sauce, 1 tbsp light soy sauce, 1 tbsp Shaoxing wine, 1 tsp sugar, 0.5 cup beef broth or water, and 1 tsp cornstarch in a small bowl until smooth. Set aside.
- Blanch the 4 cups broccoli florets: Bring a medium pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add the broccoli and cook for 1-2 minutes until bright green and tender-crisp. Immediately drain and plunge into an ice bath to stop cooking, then drain thoroughly and set aside.
- Heat 1.5 tbsp of oil in a large wok or skillet over high heat until shimmering. Add the marinated beef in a single layer, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Sear for 1-2 minutes per side until browned. You may need to do this in two batches to ensure proper searing. Remove the cooked beef from the wok and set aside.
- Add the remaining 1.5 tbsp of oil to the wok. Reduce the heat to medium-high. Add 1 tbsp minced ginger and 2 minced garlic cloves; stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Return the blanched broccoli to the wok and stir-fry for 1-2 minutes to heat through and coat with the aromatics.
- Return the cooked beef to the wok. Give the prepared sauce a quick whisk to re-incorporate the cornstarch, then pour it evenly over the beef and broccoli.
- Stir-fry for 1-2 minutes, tossing constantly, until the sauce thickens and coats all the ingredients. Remove from heat immediately.
- Serve hot with steamed white rice.
