Beef and Marinade
Sauce
Stir-Fry
Instructions
Marinate the Beef
In a bowl, combine the sliced beef, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, and 1 tablespoon cornstarch. Mix well and let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.
Prepare the Sauce
In a separate bowl, whisk together the beef broth, oyster sauce, soy sauce, brown sugar, and cornstarch until smooth. Set aside.
Cook the Broccoli
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the broccoli florets and stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes, until they are tender-crisp. Remove the broccoli from the skillet and set aside.
Cook the Beef
In the same skillet, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add the marinated beef slices in a single layer and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side until they are browned and cooked through. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.
Combine and Serve
In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and ginger and stir-fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Return the cooked broccoli and beef to the skillet.
Pour the prepared sauce over the beef and broccoli. Stir well to combine, and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until the sauce has thickened and everything is heated through.
Serve the beef and broccoli over cooked rice.

Note
- Broccoli Tips: To ensure crisp-tender broccoli, do not overcook. You can also blanch the broccoli before stir-frying to maintain its bright green color.
- Beef Tips: For best results, slice the beef very thinly against the grain. Freezing the beef for 15 minutes can make it easier to slice thinly.
- Sauce Variations: Feel free to add a splash of rice vinegar or sesame oil for additional flavor.
