Ingredients

  • 1 lb beef Sirloin or flank steak, thinly sliced into strips
  • 1 lb Broccoli Florets and brocolli stems, peeled and sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic finely chopped

For velveting Beef marinade

  • ¼ tsp baking soda optional
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1 tbsp Oyster sauce
  • ½ tsp ginger grated
  • 1 tsp Shaoxing wine 
  • 2 tbsp water

For the stir fry sauce

  • ½ tbsp dark soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp brown sugar
  • ½ tsp sesame oil
  • 1 beef bouillon cube crushed
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • cup water
  • Ground black pepper to taste

for cooking

  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil

Instructions

  • Slice the beef thinly against the grain. Look for the direction of beef fibres, which is the parallel lines of the beef muscle fibres.
  • Mix the beef marinade ingredients in a bowl with the beef. Marinate for at least 10 minutes.
  • While the beef is marinating, prepare the stir fry sauce and cut the broccoli into florets. Peel and slice the broccoli stems.
  • Heat the pan or wok over medium-high heat, then drizzle the vegetable oil. Add the marinated beef and sear for a couple of minutes or until lightly browned.
  • Add the minced garlic and saute for about 30 seconds. Then immediately add the stir fry sauce. Cover and let it simmer for 5 to 7 minutes or until the beef is tender to your liking. Add more water if needed.
  • Add the broccoli stems and cook for 3 minutes. Then add the broccoli florets and continue cooking for another minute. Serve with steamed rice.

Notes

Baking soda is optional. However, this quickly tenderizes the meat to cook faster. Without baking soda, you might need to cook longer than 7 minutes or it depends on the cut of meat you have chosen.
