Beef and Broccoli Stir-Fry

A Chinese wok classic: thin slices of beef with broccoli in a rich oyster sauce. Ready in 10 minutes.

Ingredients

• 454 g Sirloin steak (sliced)
• 1 tsp Soy sauce
• 1 tsp Dry sherry
• 0.5 tsp Cornstarch
• 0.13 tsp Black pepper
• 2 tbsp Oyster sauce
• 1 tbsp Soy sauce
• 0.25 cup Chicken broth
• 454 g Broccoli
• 2 tbsp Oil for frying
• 2 clove Garlic
• 1 tsp Cornstarch

Instructions

1. Marinate the beef: mix soy sauce, sherry, ½ tsp cornstarch, and a pinch of pepper. Add the beef sliced into thin strips and let sit for 10 minutes.
2. Prepare the sauce: mix oyster sauce, sherry, soy sauce, and chicken broth. Set aside.
3. Bring water to a boil, blanch broccoli for approximately 2 minutes until al dente, and drain well.
4. Heat a wok over high heat, add oil. Lay the beef in a single layer and sear without stirring for 1 minute. Flip, add garlic, and cook for another 30–60 seconds until the pink color disappears.
5. Pour in the sauce and cornstarch slurry (1 tsp cornstarch mixed with 1 tbsp water). Stir until the sauce comes to a boil and thickens (approximately 30 seconds). Fold in the broccoli and serve immediately with rice.
