Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Beef (sirloin or flank steak, thinly sliced)
- 300 grams Broccoli florets
- 4 tablespoons Oyster sauce
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Water (for cornstarch slurry)
- 3 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoon Ginger (minced)
- 3 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 1 cup Water (for steaming broccoli)
- 1 teaspoon Sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of water to create a slurry. Set aside.
In a separate bowl, combine the oyster sauce, soy sauce, and sugar. Stir until the sugar dissolves. Set aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large pan or wok over medium-high heat. Add the broccoli florets and 1 cup of water to the pan. Cover and steam the broccoli for about 3-4 minutes until it is bright green and tender-crisp. Remove the broccoli from the pan and set aside.
In the same pan, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil. Once hot, add the minced garlic and ginger. Fry for about 30 seconds until aromatic.
Add the sliced beef to the pan in a single layer. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until browned and cooked through. Season with black pepper.
Return the steamed broccoli to the pan with the beef. Stir to combine.
Pour the oyster sauce mixture over the beef and broccoli. Stir-fry for 1-2 minutes, ensuring everything is evenly coated with the sauce.
Finally, give the cornstarch slurry a quick stir, then drizzle it into the pan while stirring. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens to your desired consistency.
Remove from heat and serve immediately over steamed rice.
