Ingredients:
For the Beef:
- 300g beef sirloin or flank steak, thinly sliced against the grain 🥩
- 2 tbsp soy sauce 🥢
- 1 tbsp cornstarch 🌽
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil 🛢️
For the Broccoli:
- 2 cups broccoli florets 🥦
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil 🛢️
For the Sauce:
- 1 tsp cornstarch (mixed with 2 tbsp water to make a slurry) 🌽
- 1/4 cup soy sauce 🥢
- 2 tbsp oyster sauce 🍜
- 1 tbsp hoisin sauce 🌟
- 1 tbsp rice vinegar 🍶
- 1 tsp sesame oil 🌰
- 1 tsp sugar 🍯
- 1/2 cup beef broth 💧
Ingredients:
1: Marinate the Beef 🥩
- In a bowl, combine the thinly sliced beef with soy sauce and cornstarch. Mix well and let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.
2: Prepare the Sauce 🥢
- In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, sugar, and beef broth. Stir in the cornstarch slurry to thicken the sauce. Set aside.
3: Cook the Broccoli 🥦
- Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the broccoli florets and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until they are bright green and tender-crisp. Remove the broccoli from the skillet and set aside.
4: Cook the Beef 🥩
- In the same skillet, add 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add the marinated beef and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until it is browned and cooked through. Be careful not to overcrowd the pan; you may need to cook the beef in batches.
5: Combine Beef and Broccoli 🥦
- Return the cooked broccoli to the skillet with the beef. Pour the prepared sauce over the beef and broccoli. Stir well to combine and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened and everything is heated through.
