Ingredients
- 1 tsp soy sauce
- 1 tsp white wine
- 0.5 tsp cornstarch
- 0.13 tsp black pepper
- 1 lb beef
- 2 tbsp oyster sauce
- 1 tsp white wine
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 0.25 cups chicken stock
- 1 lb broccoli
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 tsp cornstarch
- 1 tbsp water
Method
- Marinate the beef:
- Stir together the beef marinade ingredients (1 teaspoon soy sauce, 1 teaspoon Chinese rice wine, 1/2 teaspoon cornstarch, 1/8 teaspoon black pepper) in a medium bowl.
- Add the beef slices and stir until coated. Let stand for 10 minutes.
- Prepare the sauce:
- Stir together the sauce ingredients (2 tablespoons oyster sauce, 1 teaspoon Chinese rice wine, 1 teaspoon soy sauce, 1/4 cup chicken broth) in a small bowl. Set aside.
- Blanch or steam the broccoli:
- Bring a pot of water to a boil. Add the broccoli and cook until crisp-tender, about 2 minutes. Drain thoroughly.
- Stir-fry the beef:
- Heat a large frying pan or wok over high heat until a bead of water sizzles and instantly evaporates upon contact. Add the cooking oil and swirl to coat.
- Add the beef and immediately spread it out all over the surface of the wok or pan in a single layer (preferably not touching).
- Let the beef fry undisturbed for 1 minute. Flip the beef slices over, add the garlic to the pan, and fry for an additional 30 seconds to 1 minute until no longer pink.
- Add the sauce, cornstarch, and broccoli:
- Pour in the sauce and the cornstarch slurry (1 teaspoon cornstarch dissolved in 1 tablespoon of water). Stir until the sauce boils and thickens, about 30 seconds. Stir in the broccoli.
- Serve immediately, with steamed rice or on its own.
