Beef and Broccoli Stir Fry
Ingredients
- 1 pound flank steak, thinly sliced across the grain
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch dissolved in 1 tablespoon water
- 1 teaspoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon rice wine or water
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- fresh ground pepper, to taste
- Sauce:
- 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
- 1 teaspoon rice wine or water
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1/4 cup chicken broth
- 1 pound broccoli florets
- 2 tablespoons oil
- 1 green pepper, seeded and cut into slices
- 1 clove garlic, very thinly sliced
- 1 green onion, sliced
- Start by marinating the beef; mix together cornstarch mixture, soy sauce, rice wine or water, salt and pepper in a bowl, add the sliced beef and stir to coat the slices. Let stand for 10 minutes while you prepare the sauce and blanch the broccoli.
- Make sauce by mixing the oyster sauce, rice wine or water, soy sauce and chicken broth in a small bowl. Set aside.
- Place broccoli in salted boiling water for 2 minutes, remove the broccoli from the boiling water with a large Chinese wire mesh skimmer/strainer and immediately submerge the broccoli into a large bowl filled with ice cubes and cold water. Submerge for 10 seconds. Remove the broccoli with wire mesh skimmer/strainer from the cold water, drain well and set aside.
- Heat a large frying pan or wok over high heat until a bead of water sizzles and instantly evaporates upon contact, add oil and swirl to coat pan or wok. Add bell pepper strips, cook for a few minutes. Remove and set aside. Heat pan again and add meat slices, let the beef fry for 1 minute. Flip the beef strips over and add the garlic, sliced green onion, if using, reserved bell pepper strips and fry for 30 seconds to 1 minute.
- Pour in sauce, add broccoli and bring to a boil. Pour in dissolved cornstarch in water and cook stirring until sauce boils and thickens, about 30 seconds.
