- Ready In:
- 25mins
- Ingredients:
- 10
- Serves:
-
2-3
ingredients
- 1 teaspoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
- 1⁄2 teaspoon potato starch
- black pepper, to taste
- 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1⁄4 cup chicken broth
- 1⁄2 onion (optional)
- sesame seeds (to garnish) (optional)
directions
- Marinate beef: Stir the 1 teaspoon soy sauce, 1 teaspoon rice vinegar, potato starch (corn starch is fine, too) and black pepper in a medium bowl and add the beef. Leave for 10 minutes.
- Blanche the broccoli (which just means to bring water in a pot to a boil, add broccoli and a dash of salt then immediately turn off heat and pour the broccoli into a colander - do not let the broccoli sit, so as to avoid loss of crispiness and losing the bright green color you should now get).
- Heat large frying pan or wok until water sizzles instantly, or evaporates upon contact.
- Add cooking oil and stir to coat (for me that's about 2 tablespoons olive oil).
- Add beef, immediately spread beef out all over surface in single layer (preferably not touching) and leave for 1 minute.
- Flip, add garlic for 30 seconds to 1 minute until no longer pink.
- Pour on sauce. Add broccoli and bring to a boil.
- Pour in dissolved potato starch and cook, stirring the sauce for 30 seconds.
- Serve over rice immediately and for some umph, garnish with sesame seeds.
