Ingredients
Brown sauce
- ½ cup chicken stock
- 1 Tablespoon oyster sauce
- ½ Tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- ½ teaspoon brown sugar
- ¼ teaspoon sesame oil
Marinade
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon soy sauce
- Pinch of freshly ground black pepper
- ½ pound beef tenderloin or sirloin steak, thinly sliced
Stir-fry
- 1 ½ Tablespoons peanut oil
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 heads broccoli, cut into florets
- ¼ cup water
Instructions
- Put all the brown sauce ingredients into a small jar with a tight seal. Shut the lid tightly and shake to combine. Set aside.
- Combine the cornstarch, soy sauce, freshly ground black pepper, and beef in a medium-size bowl and stir to coat the meat. Allow to marinate at room temperature for 20 minutes.
- Add the peanut oil to your wok and heat over medium-high heat. When the oil is hot, add the beef and stir-fry 3-5 minutes, just until the meat is no longer pink. Remove the meat from the wok and set aside.
- Add the garlic to the wok and stir-fry just for a few seconds, then add in the broccoli and water. Stir-fry until the water has evaporated and the broccoli is tender-crisp.
- Return the beef to the wok and add the brown sauce to the beef and broccoli. Toss and stir another 2 minutes, until the sauce has thickened just a bit, then remove from the heat and transfer the prepared beef with broccoli to a serving dish. Serve with rice.
