  • Total Time: 25 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb flank steak (or other cut)
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon peanut oil (or vegetable oil)
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda (optional)
  • 1/2 cup chicken stock (or beef stock)
  • 2 tablespoons Shaoxing wine (or dry sherry)
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon dark soy sauce
  • 2 teaspoons brown sugar (or white sugar)
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 head broccoli (cut into bite-size florets)
  • 1 tablespoon peanut oil (or vegetable oil)
  • 3 garlic cloves (minced)
  • 2 teaspoons ginger (minced)

Instructions

  1. Slice the beef against the grain into 0.5 cm (1/4 inch) thick slices or 1-cm (1/2 inch) sticks. Transfer to a bowl. Add soy sauce, peanut oil, and cornstarch. Mix well and let marinate for 10 minutes.
  2. Combine all the ingredients for the sauce in a medium-sized bowl and mix well.
  3. Add 1/4 cup water to a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until it boils. Add the broccoli and cover. Steam until tender, about 1 minute. Transfer broccoli to a plate.
  4. Heat oil in the pan over medium-high. Spread the steak in a single layer. Cook without touching for 30 seconds, flip and char lightly.
  5. Add garlic and ginger, stirring to release their fragrance.
  6. Return the broccoli and pour the sauce into the skillet. Cook and stir until the sauce thickens, about 1 minute. Transfer to a plate and serve hot.

Notes
