Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb beef sirloin or flank steak
- 4 cups broccoli florets
- 3 cups cooked jasmine or white rice
- 1/3 cup soy sauce
- 2 tbsp oyster sauce
- 1 tbsp hoisin sauce
- 2 tbsp cornstarch
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- 3 cloves garlic
- 1 inch piece ginger
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1/2 cup water or beef stock
- 2 stalks green onions (for garnish, optional)
- 1/4 tsp white pepper (optional)
Instructions
Thinly slice the beef against the grain into bite-sized strips. In a small bowl, combine 1 tablespoon of soy sauce and 1 tablespoon of cornstarch, then toss with the beef to coat. Let marinate for 15 minutes.
While the beef marinates, prepare the sauce by whisking together the remaining soy sauce, oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, sesame oil, 1 tablespoon of cornstarch, and water or beef stock in a medium bowl until smooth. Set aside.
Mince the garlic and finely grate or mince the ginger. Set them aside separately.
Steam or blanch the broccoli florets for 2–3 minutes, just until tender-crisp. Drain and set aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the marinated beef in a single layer and sear for 1-2 minutes per side until browned but not fully cooked through. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.
Add the remaining tablespoon of vegetable oil to the skillet. Stir-fry the garlic and ginger for 30 seconds, or until fragrant.
Return the beef to the skillet and pour in the prepared sauce. Stir well to combine and bring to a simmer. Cook for 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken and coat the beef.
Add the steamed broccoli to the skillet and toss gently to combine everything, ensuring the sauce coats the broccoli as well. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until heated through.
Serve the beef and broccoli mixture over cooked jasmine or white rice. Garnish with sliced green onions and a sprinkle of white pepper if desired.
