This is my husband's new favorite. I don't think we will be going back to our favorite Chinese food restaurant any time soon. Very easy. Makes four large adult servings. I made egg rolls off this site and steamed white rice as sides. YUM!

Number Of Ingredients 13

⅓ cup dry sherry
⅓ cup oyster sauce
2 teaspoons Asian (toasted) sesame oil
1 teaspoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon white sugar
1 teaspoon cornstarch
1 ½ pounds beef sirloin steak, trimmed and cut into 1/8-inch-thick slices
3 tablespoons vegetable oil, plus more if needed

1 pound broccoli, cut into florets
1 (16 ounce) can sliced mushrooms, drained
8 ounces snow peas

Steps:

Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 19

1 pound flank steak ((sliced 1/4-inch or 0.6cm thick))
1/4 teaspoon baking soda ((optional))
3 tablespoons water
1 1/2 teaspoons cornstarch
2 teaspoons vegetable oil
1 teaspoon oyster sauce
2/3 cup low sodium chicken stock ((warmed))
1 1/2 teaspoons granulated sugar ((or brown sugar))
1 1/2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 teaspoon dark soy sauce
1 tablespoon oyster sauce
1/2 teaspoon sesame oil
1/8 teaspoon white pepper
4 cups broccoli florets
3 tablespoons vegetable oil ((divided))
2 cloves garlic ((minced))
1/4 teaspoon ginger ((grated/minced, optional))
1 tablespoon Shaoxing wine
2 1/2 tablespoons cornstarch ((mixed with 3 tablespoons/45ml water))

Steps:

  • In a bowl, add the sliced beef, ¼ teaspoon baking soda, and 3 tablespoons water (if you don't want your beef tenderized too much, omit the baking soda). Massage the beef with your hands until all the liquid is absorbed. Mix in 1 ½ teaspoons cornstarch, 2 teaspoons oil, and 1 teaspoon oyster sauce, and set aside to marinate for at least 30 minutes.
  • Make the sauce mixture by mixing together the chicken stock, sugar, soy sauce, dark soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, and white pepper. Set aside.
  • Bring 6 cups of water to a boil and blanch your broccoli for 30 to 60 seconds (depending on whether you like your broccoli crunchy or a little soft). Drain and set aside.
  • Heat your wok over high heat until smoking. Add 2 tablespoons oil and sear the beef on both sides until browned (this should only take 2-3 minutes). Turn off the heat, remove the beef from the wok, and set aside.
  • Set the wok over medium heat and add another tablespoon of oil to the along with the garlic and ginger (if using). Stir the garlic and ginger for 5 seconds and then pour the Shaoxing wine around the perimeter of the wok.
  • Next, add in the sauce mixture you made earlier. Stir the sauce around the sides of the wok to deglaze it (all those nice bits from stir-frying the beef should be absorbed into the sauce). Bring the sauce to a simmer. Stir the cornstarch and water into a slurry to ensure it's well combined, and drizzle the mixture into sauce while stirring constantly. Allow it to simmer and thicken for 20 seconds.
  • Toss in the blanched broccoli and seared beef (along with any juices). Mix everything together over medium heat until the sauce coats the beef and broccoli. If the sauce seems thin, turn up the heat and reduce it further, or add a bit more cornstarch slurry. If the sauce is too thick, add a splash of chicken stock or water. Serve with plenty of steamed rice!

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 11

⅓ cup oyster sauce
2 teaspoons Asian (toasted) sesame oil
⅓ cup sherry
1 teaspoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon white sugar
1 teaspoon cornstarch
¾ pound beef round steak, cut into 1/8-inch thick strips
3 tablespoons vegetable oil, plus more if needed
1 thin slice of fresh ginger root
1 clove garlic, peeled and smashed
1 pound broccoli, cut into florets

Steps:

  • Whisk together the oyster sauce, sesame oil, sherry, soy sauce, sugar, and cornstarch in a bowl, and stir until the sugar has dissolved.

  • Heat vegetable oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat, and stir in the ginger and garlic. Let them sizzle in the hot oil for about 1 minute to flavor the oil, then remove and discard. Stir in the broccoli, and toss and stir in the hot oil until bright green and almost tender, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove the broccoli from the wok, and set aside.
  • Pour a little more oil into the wok, if needed, and stir and toss the beef with the marinade until the sauce forms a glaze on the beef, and the meat is no longer pink, about 5 minutes. Return the cooked broccoli to the wok, and stir until the meat and broccoli are heated through, about 3 minutes.

Tips:

  • Tenderize Your Beef: To ensure melt-in-your-mouth beef, consider using a meat mallet or tenderizer to break down the fibers before cooking. This technique helps enhance the texture and flavor of your beef.
  • Marinate Your Beef: Marinating the beef in a flavorful mixture of soy sauce, rice wine, cornstarch, and seasonings not only adds depth of flavor but also helps tenderize the meat. Allow it to marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.
  • Use a Wok: A well-seasoned wok is the ideal cooking vessel for this dish as it distributes heat evenly and allows for quick and efficient stir-frying. If you don't have a wok, a large skillet or sauté pan can be used instead.
  • High Heat and Quick Cooking: This dish relies on high heat and rapid cooking to maintain the vibrant colors and textures of the vegetables. Stir-fry the ingredients in batches if necessary to prevent overcrowding and ensure even cooking.
  • Sauce Consistency: The sauce should coat the beef and vegetables without being too thick or runny. Adjust the cornstarch and water ratio as needed to achieve the desired consistency.
