Ingredients
Beef Marinade
- 1 1/4 lb beef sirloin or ribeye or striploin, thinly sliced against grain
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 2 tsp brown sugar
- 2 tsp cornstarch
- 1 tbsp sweet rice wine optional, mirim
Sauce
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 2 tsp ginger paste
- 1 cup beef stock or chicken stock
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 2 tbsp oyster sauce
- 1 1/2 tbsp brown sugar
- 1 1/2 tbsp cornstarch
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- dashes black pepper
Stir-fry
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil divided
- 1 lb broccoli cut into florets
- 1 small onion sliced
- 2-3 tbsp water
Instructions
- For the beef marinade, combine beef slices with brown sugar, cornstarch, soy sauce, and rice wine in a bowl. Toss well and let it sit for 5 minutes.
- For the sauce, mix all the sauce ingredient in another bowl; set aside.
- To stir-fry, heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a wok or skillet over high heat until very hot. Add the beef and let it sear for few seconds, then stir-fry until they are just browned, about 2-3 minutes. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
- Heat the remaining oil in a wok until hot, add broccoli and onion, and stir-fry for 1 minute. Make sure to maintain the high heat. Add 2 tablespoon of water to create the steam so that can cook the broccoli florets to a tender crisp.; about 2 minutes. Add more water if needed.
- When the broccoli florets are tender yet crisp, return the beef and pour the sauce over. Continue to stir-fry until the sauce gets thickened, about 30-60 seconds. Serve warm with rice or noodles
