Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 g beef sirloin (thinly sliced against the grain)
- 300 g broccoli florets
- 3 tbsp oyster sauce
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp dark soy sauce
- 1.5 tbsp cornstarch
- 4 tbsp water
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1 tsp ginger (peeled and minced)
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 tsp sugar
- 1 tsp sesame oil (optional)
Instructions
In a small bowl, combine 1 tablespoon of cornstarch, 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, and 2 tablespoons of water. Add the thinly sliced beef to the mixture, toss to coat, and marinate for 10 minutes.
In a separate small bowl, mix the oyster sauce, dark soy sauce, remaining 1/2 tablespoon of cornstarch, remaining 2 tablespoons of water, and sugar. Stir until well combined and set aside.
Bring a pot of water to a boil. Blanch the broccoli florets for 1-2 minutes until they turn a bright green. Drain immediately and run under cold water to halt the cooking process. Set aside.
Heat a large wok or skillet over high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil and swirl to coat the surface.
Add the marinated beef in a single layer and stir-fry for 1-2 minutes until just browned but not fully cooked through. Remove the beef from the wok and set aside.
In the same wok, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Stir in the minced ginger and garlic, cooking for 30 seconds or until fragrant.
Return the beef to the wok along with the broccoli florets. Pour the prepared sauce over the mixture.
Stir-fry everything together for 2-3 minutes, ensuring the beef is fully cooked and the broccoli is crisp-tender. The sauce should thicken and coat the ingredients.
Drizzle sesame oil on top (if using) and give the dish a final stir before serving.
Serve hot over steamed white rice or noodles.
