Yield Serves 2

Number Of Ingredients 18

For the beef
2 teaspoons soy sauce
1/4 teaspoon sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 pound boneless sirloin, cut across the grain into 1/4-inch-thick slices
For the sauce
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon medium-dry Sherry or Scotch
1/4 cup chicken or beef broth or water
1 teaspoon sugar
2 teaspoons Oriental sesame oil
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 tablespoon minced peeled fresh gingerroot
1 tablespoon minced garlic
a 4-inch fresh red chili, seeded and minced (wear rubber gloves) or 1/2 tablespoon dried hot red pepper flakes
1 pound broccoli, cut into flowerets and the stems peeled and cut into 1/2-inch-thick
cooked rice as an accompaniment

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.
  • Make the sauce while the beef is marinating:
  • In a small bowl dissolve the cornstarch in the soy sauce and stir in the Sherry, the broth, the sugar, and the sesame oil.
  • 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. Stir-fry the beef in the oil in batches for 1 minute, or until it is no longer pink, and transfer it as it is cooked with a slotted spoon to a plate. 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. Add the broccoli and stir-fry the mixture for 1 minute. Add 1/3 cup water and steam the broccoli, covered, for 1 1/2 to 2 minutes, or until it is crisp-tender. Stir the sauce, add it to the wok with the beef and any juices that have accumulated on the plate, and cook the mixture, stirring, for 2 minutes, or until the sauce is thickened and the beef is heated through. Transfer the mixture to a heated platter and serve it with the rice.

STIR-FRIED BEEF AND BROCCOLI - EMERIL LAGASSE RECIPE - (4.4/5)



Stir-Fried Beef and Broccoli - Emeril Lagasse Recipe - (4.4/5) image

Provided by ranmcm

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 tablespoons minced garlic
4 teaspoons grated ginger
4 teaspoons Chinese black vinegar (I used dark red wine vinegar)
2 tablespoons soy sauce
3 teaspoons hoisin sauce
3 teaspoons orange blossom honey
4 tablespoons peanut oil, divided
2 pounds beef flap steak, thinly sliced across the grain* (Flank or
skirt steak works)
4 tablespoons cornstarch
2 large heads broccoli, cut into florets and blanched
1 1/2 teaspoons red pepper flakes
Steamed white rice, for serving (I used brown rice)

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. If you're looking for a quick and easy weeknight meal, stir-fried beef and broccoli is a great option.
