Servings: 2 people
- 8 oz (230g) beef tenderloin flank steak or flap meat, cut into pieces
- 6 oz (170g) broccoli florets
- water for boiling
- 2 1/2 tablespoons oil
- 2- inches (5cm) ginger peeled and sliced
Marinade:
- 1/2 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon rice wine or sherry
- 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil optional
- 3 dashes white pepper
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
Sauce:
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
- 1/4 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1/2 teaspoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 4 tablespoons water
Marinate the beef with all the Marinade ingredients for about 15 minutes.
Bring the water to a boil and add a few drops of oil. Blanch the broccoli florets in the hot water for about 10 seconds. Remove the broccoli immediately with a strainer or slotted spoon, draining the excess water. Set aside.
Prepare the sauce in a small bowl. Stir to mix well. Set aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a wok or skillet over high heat. Stir-fry the beef until it is 70% cooked. Remove from the heat and set aside.
Heat the remaining oil in a wok or skillet over high heat. Add the ginger and stir-fry until fragrant. Transfer the beef to the wok or skillet and stir-fry until cooked through and the center of the meat is no longer pink, about 1-2 minutes. Add the broccoli and then the sauce, stirring to combine the ingredients well.
As soon as the sauce thickens, remove from the heat and serve immediately.
