Ingredients

  • 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

Instructions

  • 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.
