# Beef and Broccoli Stir-fry 西蘭花炒牛肉

Cuisine: chinese · Time: 16 minutes · Servings: 2

## Ingredients

- 250 g Flank steak (, sliced)
- 400 g Broccoli (, cut into bite-size florettes)
- 4 cloves Garlic
- 2 tsp Oil ( for marinade)
- 2 tsp Oil ( for frying)
- 1 tsp Sugar
- ½ tsp Salt
- 1 tsp Light soy sauce
- 1 tsp Shaoxing wine
- 1 tsp Corn starch ( for marinade)
- 90 ml Water ( for slurry)
- 1 tsp Corn starch ( for slurry)
- 1 tbsp Oyster sauce
- 2 tsp Sweet soy sauce
- 2 litres Water ( for blanching broccoli)

## Steps

1. Bring 2 litres of water to a boil
2. Put the broccoli into the boiling water for 10 seconds, remove from the water and let it sit in a colander until ready to use
3. Marinade the beef with 1 tsp of sugar, ½ tsp salt, 1 tsp light soy sauce, 1 tsp Shaoxing wine and 1 tsp cornstarch. Mix well until the beef absorbs all the liquid.  Add 2 tsp of oil and mix well
4. Prepare the slurry by mixing 1 tsp of cornstarch to 90ml of water and set aside
5. Heat a pan at medium-high heat, add 2 tsp oil and wait for the pan to heat up.  Test the oil by using a little piece of the beef to put in the pan.  If the beef sizzles, then the pan is ready If you add the beef when the pan is not hot enough, the beef will lose its juices and become tough
6. Put the beef into the pan in a single layer and start flipping the beef after 5 seconds.  Remove them from the pan after another 5 seconds.  Reduce the heat when you take out the beef If your beef is thicker than 3mm, then flip after 10 seconds and remove from heat after another 10 seconds
7. Put the heat back up to medium-high and put the broccoli in the pan.  Add 1 tbsp oyster sauce and stir-fry for around 4 minutes or to your preferred tenderness Do not cover with a lid, the broccoli will lose its colour and will be limp
8. Add the beef back into the pan.  Quickly, stir for 10 seconds or until your preferred doneness My beef was cooked to medium to medium-rare.  By the time it goes onto the rice, the beef is pretty much all done to medium
9. Stir the slurry and add to the pan.  Add 2 tsp of sweet soy sauce into the pan and mix
10. Turn off the heat.  Mix well and serve
