Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams beef sirloin, thinly sliced
- 300 grams broccoli florets
- 4 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 100 milliliters water
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon ginger, finely grated
- 1 teaspoon brown sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon red chili flakes (optional)
- 2 stalks green onions, sliced for garnish
- 2 cups white or jasmine rice (optional, for serving)
Instructions
In a small bowl, mix together the soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, water, cornstarch, and brown sugar. Stir until the cornstarch dissolves completely, then set the sauce aside.
Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Once hot, add the sliced beef in a single layer and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until browned. Remove the beef from the skillet and set it aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, and sauté for 30 seconds, or until fragrant.
Add broccoli florets to the skillet and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes, until the broccoli is bright green and slightly tender. You can add a splash of water and cover the skillet for 1-2 minutes to steam the broccoli, if desired.
Return the cooked beef to the skillet along with any juices it released. Pour the prepared sauce over the beef and broccoli, and toss everything together to coat evenly.
Cook for another 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens and everything is heated through. If using red chili flakes, stir them in now for an optional spicy kick.
Remove the skillet from heat and garnish with sliced green onions. Serve hot over cooked white or jasmine rice, if desired.
