Description
A vibrant stir-fry dish featuring tender beef and crisp broccoli in a savory sauce, perfect for weeknight dinners.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb flank steak (or skirt steak, or another cut)
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon peanut oil (or vegetable oil)
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda (Optional)
- 1/2 cup chicken stock (or beef stock)
- 2 tablespoons Shaoxing wine (or dry sherry)
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon dark soy sauce
- 2 teaspoons brown sugar (or white sugar)
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 head broccoli (cut into bite-size florets)
- 1 tablespoon peanut oil (or vegetable oil)
- 3 garlic cloves (minced)
- 2 teaspoons ginger (minced)
Instructions
- Prepare the beef: Slice the beef against the grain into thin strips, about 0.5 cm (1/4 inch) in thickness. In a bowl, combine the sliced beef with soy sauce, peanut oil, and cornstarch. Let this marinate while you prepare the other ingredients.
- Create the sauce: In a medium bowl, whisk together the chicken stock, Shaoxing wine, soy sauce, dark soy sauce, and brown sugar.
- Steam the broccoli: Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat, add 1/4 cup of water, and bring to a boil. Toss in the broccoli and cover, steaming it until tender, about 1 minute.
- Cook the beef: In the now-dry skillet, add the peanut oil and swirl to coat. Stir-fry the marinated beef in a single layer until browned.
- Infuse with flavor: Add minced garlic and ginger to the pan. Stir to release the aromatic oils.
- Combine everything: Return the steamed broccoli to the skillet. Pour in the sauce and stir until it thickens.
- Serve: Transfer to a serving plate and enjoy hot.
