Total Time: 25 mins Preparation Time: 15 mins Cook Time: 10 mins

Ingredients

• Servings: 4
• 1/2 lb boneless beef roast, sliced across grain into thin slices (flank steak, top sirloin, or tenderloin)
• 1 lb broccoli, chopped
• 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
• 2 teaspoons rice wine
• 1/2 teaspoon brown sugar
• 2 teaspoons cornstarch
• 2 teaspoons rice wine
• 1/2 teaspoon brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon cornstarch, dissolved in
• 2 tablespoons water
• 3 tablespoons peanut oil
• 2 slices ginger, minced
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 cup water
• 2 teaspoons sesame oil

Recipe

• 1 combine all marinade ingredients in a bowl.
• 2 combine all seasoning sauce ingredients in a cup.
• 3 thoroughly mix beef with marinade and marinate for 30 minutes.
• 4 heat wok over highest heat, when hot, swirl in 2 tbsp peanut oil.
• 5 add ginger and salt and toss a few seconds.
• 6 add broccoli and stir fry one minute, then add water, turn heat to med-high, cover, and steam until crisp tender.
• 7 uncover and turn heat to high, stir frying until water is evaporated.
• 8 remove broccoli and reserve.
• 9 reheat same wok (without rinsing) and, when hot, add remaining peanut oil.
• 10 add beef slices and stir fry until lightly browned but not cooked through.
• 11 do not stir fry too vigorously or meat will not brown, it is better to press slices against sides of wok to sear.
• 12 add broccoli to wok and toss.
• 13 when hot, stir in seasoning sauce and stir until sauce thickens (it's a good idea to whisk the sauce in the cup just before you hurl it into the wok).
• 14 turn onto a platter and drizzle sesame oil over the top.
• 15 the sugar in the marinade and seasoning sauce acts as a flavor enhancer rather than a sweetener.
