Beef and Broccoli
Description
The Beef and Broccoli recipe marinates thinly sliced flank steak in a mixture including oyster sauce, soy sauce, cooking sherry, cornstarch, and sugar. This marinade tenderizes the beef and forms a base for the final sauce. Stir-frying the beef quickly in hot canola oil ensures a tender, seared exterior.
Garlic and ginger add pungent aromatics, cooked briefly before adding broccoli and the marinade. Covering the pan allows the broccoli to steam slightly while the sauce thickens, coating the vegetables and meat when the beef is returned to the wok. The sauce consistency clings to the beef and broccoli, balancing savory, sweet, and umami flavors.
This dish works well served as part of a meal over rice or noodles, providing a classic combination of tender meat and fresh broccoli with a flavorful glaze from the oyster sauce mixture. The short cooking times help preserve the broccoli’s bite and the beef’s tenderness.
