Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams beef sirloin (thinly sliced)
- 300 grams broccoli florets
- 4 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
- 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons water (for cornstarch slurry)
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 3 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoon ginger (grated)
- 2 stalks green onions (chopped, for garnish)
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
- 0.5 teaspoon white pepper (optional)
- 1 liters water (for blanching broccoli)
- 1 teaspoon salt (for blanching broccoli)
Instructions
In a small bowl, mix the soy sauce, hoisin sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, and white pepper. Set aside.
In another bowl, combine the cornstarch and water to make a slurry. Set aside.
Bring 1 liter of water to a boil in a large pot. Add 1 teaspoon of salt, then blanch the broccoli florets for 1-2 minutes until bright green and slightly tender. Drain and transfer to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. Drain again and set aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the beef slices and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until browned but not fully cooked. Remove the beef and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, stir-frying for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Return the beef to the skillet, then pour in the sauce mixture. Stir well to coat the beef in the sauce.
Add the blanched broccoli to the skillet. Stir-fry for another 2-3 minutes, ensuring all ingredients are evenly coated and heated through.
Gradually add the cornstarch slurry to the skillet while stirring. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens to your desired consistency.
Remove from heat and transfer to a serving dish. Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds, if desired.
Serve hot with steamed rice or noodles.
