Instructions

  • Marinate beef in Shaoxing rice cooking wine, soy sauce and cornstarch for 30 minutes in the fridge.
  • Cut broccoli florets the same sizes. Wash and drain water in a colander.
  • Make stir fry sauce. Combine oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, Shaoxing cooking wine, brown sugar, cornstarch, Knorr beef or chicken bouillon powder and water. Set aside.
  • Get wok or pan smoking hot over medium to high heat then pour oil and sesame oil.
  • Stir-fry beef on both sides for a total of 3 to 4 minutes depending on your preference (doneness). This is quick since beef is sliced thinly. Remove from pan and set aside.
  • Saute onion, garlic and ginger for 1 ½ minutes.
  • Toss-in broccoli and cook for a minute then push it on the sides. It will continue to cook.
  • Pour sauce. Stir and in a few minutes it will simmer and thicken.
  • Add beef and combine all the ingredients until coated with sauce.
  • Turn off heat and transfer to a serving platter right away. Broccoli will get soggy if you leave it in the pan.
  • Garnish with sesame seeds and julienned white onion.

Notes

  1. In the post above, I have tips that can help you cook this delicious dish.
  2. Double the sauce, if you like.
  3. The marinade is enough for a 1 ½ pound beef. I don’t suggest adding more. Beef should fry, not steam.
  4. Soy sauce is salty, add salt only if needed. I did not.
  5. If using chicken broth in sauce, no need to add Knorr beef or chicken bouillon powder.
