INGREDIENTS

‍Meat Marinade

1 lb boneless flank steak or skirt steak
1 tbsp oyster sauce
1 tbsp vegetable oil
1 tbsp cornstarch
2 tbsp water

‍

Sauce

1 tbsp oyster sauce
1 tsp dark soy sauce
2 tbsp Shaoxing wine (or dry sherry)
2 tsp sugar
2 tbsp cornstarch
2/3 cup chicken stock
1/2 tsp sesame oil

‍

Stir-fry

1 head broccoli, cut into bite-sized florets
2 tbsp vegetable oil
3 garlic cloves, minced
2 tsp ginger, minced

INSTRUCTIONS

Begin by slicing the beef against its grain into slender 0.5 cm strips. Once done, marinate them to infuse each slice with incredible flavor. As the beef marinates, whisk together a sauce that perfectly balances savory, sweet, and aromatic notes.

‍

Next, bring water to a light boil in a nonstick skillet. This method steams the broccoli, ensuring it maintains its vibrant hue and delightful crunch. Once tender, set it aside.

‍

Using the same pan, sizzle the marinated beef slices to perfection. The fragrances of garlic and ginger will fill the kitchen, hinting at the feast to come. Once the beef is beautifully browned, reintroduce the broccoli and pour in the sauce. After a couple of stirring minutes, your dish is ready to shine, especially when paired with fluffy steamed rice.

Enjoy! ♡
