Beef and Broccoli Stir-Fry

Ingredients

• 1 lb sirloin steak
• 1 lb broccoli
• 2 clove garlic
• 2 tsp soy sauce
• 2 tsp dry sherry
• 1½ tsp cornstarch
• ⅛ tsp black pepper
• 2 tbsp oyster sauce
• ¼ cup chicken broth
• 2 tbsp high heat cooking oil
• 1 tbsp water

Steps

1. Slice beef thinly against the grain. In a bowl, combine 1 tsp soy sauce, 1 tsp dry sherry, 0.5 tsp cornstarch, and 0.125 tsp black pepper. Add beef and marinate for 10 minutes.
2. In a separate small bowl, whisk together 2 tbsp oyster sauce, 1 tsp dry sherry, 1 tbsp soy sauce, and 0.25 cup chicken broth for the sauce.
3. Bring a pot of water to a boil. Add broccoli florets and cook for 2 minutes until crisp-tender. Drain well and set aside.
4. Heat a large wok or frying pan over high heat. Add 2 tbsp cooking oil and swirl to coat.
5. Add marinated beef to the hot pan, spreading it in a single layer. Cook undisturbed for 1 minute, then flip. Add minced garlic and cook for another 30-60 seconds until beef is no longer pink.
6. In a small cup, dissolve 1 tsp cornstarch in 1 tbsp water. Pour the prepared sauce and the cornstarch slurry into the pan with the beef.
7. Stir continuously until the sauce boils and thickens, about 30 seconds. Add the blanched broccoli and toss to coat.
8. Serve immediately, optionally with steamed rice.
