Steps:
- Prepare the beef:
- In a small bowl stir together the soy sauce, the sugar, and the salt, add the beef, and let it marinate for 20 minutes.

- Heat a wok or large heavy skillet over high heat until it is hot, add 2 tablespoons of the vegetable oil, and heat it until it just begins to smoke.

Add the remaining 1 tablespoon vegetable oil to the wok, heat it until it is hot but not smoking, and in the oil stir-fry the gingerroot, the garlic, and the chili for 30 seconds, or until the mixture is fragrant.

Steps:
- 1. Combine the garlic, ginger, vinegar, soy sauce, hoisin sauce and honey. 2. Mix well and set aside until ready to use. 3. Preheat a wok or a large skillet. 4. Once it has reached a medium heat, add 1/2 of the peanut oil. 5. Dredge the beef in the cornstarch, lightly shake off any excess cornstarch and add 1/2 of the beef to the pan. 6. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes. 7. Add 1/2 of the broccoli to the pan and shake frequently. 8. Add 1/2 of the sauce and stir to evenly coat the beef and broccoli. 9. Cook until the sauce thickens about 5 minutes. 10. Repeat the process with the other half of the ingredients. 11. Serve immediately with steamed white rice. *It will be easier to slice the beef in thin strips if it has been partially frozen. Chef's Note: this may be able to be done in 1 batch if using a very large wok or skillet.
Tips:
- Prep your ingredients in advance: Cutting your beef, broccoli, and other vegetables ahead of time will help you save time and ensure that everything cooks evenly.
- Use a well-seasoned wok or large skillet: A good wok or skillet will help distribute heat evenly and prevent sticking. If you don't have a wok, a large skillet will work just fine.
- Cook the beef in batches: If you're using a lot of beef, cook it in batches so that it doesn't overcrowd the pan and steam instead of stir-frying.
- Don't overcook the broccoli: Broccoli should be cooked just until it's tender-crisp. Overcooked broccoli will be mushy and lose its flavor.
- Use a good quality soy sauce: A good quality soy sauce will add a lot of flavor to your stir-fry. Look for a soy sauce that is naturally brewed and has a rich, complex flavor.
- Serve immediately: Stir-fries are best served immediately after they're cooked. This will help preserve the freshness and flavor of the vegetables.
Conclusion:
Stir-fried beef and broccoli is a delicious and healthy meal that can be made in just 30 minutes. It's a great way to get your daily dose of vegetables, and it's also a good source of protein and iron.
