SZECHUAN BEEF WITH BROCCOLI RECIPE - (4.5/5)



Szechuan Beef with Broccoli Recipe - (4.5/5) image

Provided by taochavez

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 tablespoon peanut oil (or vegetable/canola oil)
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1 clove garlic, minced
1 cup broccoli florets, must be fresh to stir fry and not get soggy
4 ounces thin sliced stir fry beef
1 teaspoon chili paste
1 teaspoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon brown sugar
1 teaspoon rice vinegar
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon coarse ground black pepper
Pinch sesame seeds (option, for garnish)

Steps:

  • Make the Szechuan sauce by combining the chili paste, red pepper flakes, soy sauce, brown sugar, rice vinegar and sesame oil in a bowl (if you like a thick gooey sauce, add 1 teaspoon of corn starch to this mixture (mixed well with whisk!), it will thicken upon cooking). Set aside for later use. Wash fresh broccoli, break into pieces, and mince garlic clove. Slice thin stir fry beef into strips (I usually slice each piece in half) and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Set aside. Heat oil in a wok or large skillet over high heat. When the oil looks wavy but is not smoking (turn it down if it begins to smoke), toss in the chopped garlic and ground ginger. Stir and cook ("stir fry") for about one minute. Add the beef slices and stir fry until they are cooked through and no more pink juices are coming out (about 5 minutes). Remove the beef to a plate and add the broccoli florets. Stir fry the broccoli florets until they are slightly tender (about five minutes). The fat and juices from the beef will begin to brown on the bottom of the pan during this step. When the sauce is added next, it will deglaze the pan and bring up all of the flavor from the caramelized juices on the bottom of the pan. Return the beef strips to the pan with the broccoli florets and add the Szechuan sauce. Continue to stir and cook until most of the moisture has evaporated from the sauce (about 1-2 minutes). Serve over a bed of hot rice! (Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions if desired).

Tips:

  • Tenderize the Beef: Use a meat mallet or a fork to tenderize the beef slices before cooking. This will help them cook evenly and stay tender.
  • Use a Hot Wok or Pan: A hot wok or pan is essential for getting a good sear on the beef and broccoli. Make sure your pan is heated over high heat before adding the ingredients.
  • Don't Overcook the Beef: Beef should be cooked quickly over high heat to maintain its tenderness. Overcooking will make it tough and chewy.
  • Use Fresh Broccoli: Fresh broccoli florets are essential for this dish. Frozen broccoli can be used, but it will not have the same crisp texture.
  • Make the Sauce Separately: Making the sauce separately allows you to control the flavor and consistency. You can also make a larger batch of sauce and store it in the refrigerator for later use.
  • Garnish with Green Onions: Garnish the dish with sliced green onions before serving for a pop of color and flavor.

Conclusion:

Szechuan beef with broccoli is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. With its tender beef, crisp broccoli, and flavorful sauce, this dish is sure to please everyone at the table.
