Directions

1. Make a marinade out of 1 egg yolk, 1 Tbs. cornstarch, and 1 Tbs. rice wine by whisking together. Slice the steak against the grain in thin strips, season with salt and pepper and coat well in the marinade. Put in the fridge for 1 hour.
2. Make the sauce out of 1/2 cup chicken broth, 1 Tbs. cornstarch, 2 Tbs. soy sauce, 2 Tbs. rice wine or sherry, 1/2 teaspoons sesame oil, 2 teaspoons sambal olek, 2 Tbs. soy sauce and 1 Tbs. sugar.
3. Heat 1/2 Tbs. oil in a wok or deep skillet over Med-Hi heat. Drain any excess marinade from the steak. Put in the wok and cook until lightly browned, 1 minute or so.
4. Remove the steak from the wok and set aside.
5. Add enough water to the wok to equal about 1 Tbs. Add the ginger and garlic and stir for about 30 seconds.
6. Add the onion mushrooms and broccoli, stir, cover and cook for 2 minutes. Add the red pepper, stir and cook 2 minutes uncovered.
7. Stir in the sauce, 1/4 cup loosely packed basil leaves and steak and cook for 2-3 minutes more uncovered until the sauce has thickened and the veggies are tender crisp.
8. Serve over rice.
