BEEF AND BROCCOLI
Steps:
- Microwave the broccoli in a glass bowl covered with plastic wrap (holes poked for ventilation), about 1 to 2 minutes.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, sesame oil, 1 teaspoon cornstarch and baking soda. Slice the beef against the grain into thin strips and add it to your marinade. Let it sit for at least 20 minutes, or as long as overnight in the refrigerator.
- In a separate small bowl, stir together the stock, rice wine, oyster sauce and remaining 1 teaspoon cornstarch until the cornstarch is fully dissolved.
- Heat a wok or large skillet on high heat and add the oil. When a wisp of white smoke appears, toss the marinated beef and garlic into the pan. Cook for about 1 minute, continually moving the beef so it browns on all sides but is still rare. Once the beef is seared, add the broccoli and cook for an additional minute. Stir in the sauce and keep it all moving. Don't be afraid to scrape any bits off the bottom of the pan before they start to burn. Once the sauce has turned into a nice thick glaze, about 1 minute, serve immediately.

Tips:
- Choose the right beef: Use flank steak, skirt steak, or sirloin steak for a tender and flavorful stir-fry. Cut the beef against the grain for maximum tenderness.
- Marinate the beef: Marinating the beef in a mixture of soy sauce, rice wine, cornstarch, and sesame oil helps tenderize and flavor the meat.
- Use a hot wok or skillet: A hot wok or skillet is essential for a quick and even stir-fry. Make sure your pan is heated over high heat before adding the oil and beef.
- Stir-fry in batches: If you are cooking a large amount of beef, stir-fry it in batches to prevent overcrowding the pan and ensure that the beef cooks evenly.
- Add the vegetables last: Add the vegetables towards the end of the stir-fry so that they remain crisp and tender.
- Use a flavorful sauce: The sauce is what makes the beef and broccoli stir-fry special. Use a combination of soy sauce, oyster sauce, rice wine, and sesame oil to create a delicious and savory sauce.
- Serve immediately: Beef and broccoli stir-fry is best served immediately after cooking, while the beef is still tender and the vegetables are still crisp.
