Beef with Broccoli Recipe

Beef with Broccoli Recipe
Serves 4

Ingredients:
-1/2 pound flank or sirloin steak
-1 1/2 teaspoons soy sauce
-1 teaspoon cornstarch
-Freshly ground black pepper
-1 pound broccoli, cut into bite-size florets
-1 tablespoon high-heat cooking oil (canola, vegetable, rice)
-1 clove garlic, finely minced
-1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger

Sauce:
-3 tablespoons oyster sauce
-2 teaspoons Chinese rice wine (or dry sherry)
-2 teaspoons Chinese black vinegar (or young balsamic vinegar)

Directions:
1. Slice the flank steak ACROSS the grain. In a bowl, combine the beef with the soy sauce, cornstarch and black pepper. Marinate for 10 minutes at room temperature. In a small bowl, mix together the ingredients for the Stir-Fry Sauce.
2. In a wok or large saute pan, add 1 cup of water and bring to a boil. Add the broccoli and cover to steam for 3 minutes. The broccoli should be bright green, crisp tender and you should be able to pierce the stem with a fork. Drain.
3. Discard the water in the wok and dry the pan well. Set the pan over high heat, swirl in the cooking oil. When the wok is hot, add the marinated beef, use your tongs to spread the beef out all over the surface of the wok in one layer. Let beef cook, undisturbed, for 2 minutes, until nicely browned. Flip the beef, again spread the beef out over the wok and brown the other side.
4.Push the beef aside and add in the garlic and ginger. Stir fry the garlic and ginger for 30 seconds. Then mix together with the beef.
5. Pour in the Stir-fry Sauce and stir to combine. Simmer until the sauce is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon, about 15 seconds. Add the cooked broccoli back into the wok and toss to coat well.
