Ingredients

Beef Marinade

  • 1 1/4 lb beef sirloin or ribeye or striploin, thinly sliced against grain
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 2 tsp brown sugar
  • 2 tsp cornstarch
  • 1 tbsp sweet rice wine (mirim) optional

Sauce

  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 tsp ginger paste
  • 1 cup beef stock or chicken stock
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp oyster sauce
  • 1 1/2 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 1/2 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • dashes black pepper

Stir-fry

  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil divided
  • 1 lb broccoli cut into florets
  • 1 small onion sliced
  • 2-3 tbsp water

Instructions

  • For the beef marinade, combine beef slices with brown sugar, cornstarch, soy sauce, and rice wine in a bowl. Toss well and let it sit for 5 minutes.
  • For the sauce, mix all the sauce ingredient in another bowl; set aside.
  • To stir-fry, heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a wok or skillet over high heat until very hot. Add the beef and let it sear for few seconds, then stir-fry until they are just browned, about 2-3 minutes. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
  • Heat the remaining oil in a wok until hot, add broccoli and onion, and stir-fry for 1 minute. Make sure to maintain the high heat. Add 2 tablespoon of water to create the steam so that can cook the broccoli florets to a tender crisp.; about 2 minutes. Add more water if needed.
  • When the broccoli florets are tender yet crisp, return the beef and pour the sauce over. Continue to stir-fry until the sauce gets thickened, about 30-60 seconds. Serve warm with rice or noodles
