Instructions
-
Prepare the Sauce: In a medium bowl, combine the soy sauce, water, and cornstarch. Whisk these ingredients together until fully mixed and smooth; set this mixture aside for later use.
-
Season the Beef: In another bowl, toss the beef strips with minced garlic and freshly grated ginger until evenly coated. This step infuses the beef with aromatic flavors that will enhance the overall dish.
-
Heat the Oils: In a 10-inch skillet or wok, heat 2 teaspoons of peanut oil over medium-high heat. If you’re opting for additional flavor, add 1 teaspoon of sesame oil at this stage. Allow the oil to heat until it shimmers, indicating it’s ready for stir-frying.
-
Cook the Beef: Add the seasoned beef to the hot skillet and stir-fry for approximately 3 minutes, or until the beef is no longer pink and begins to brown. Once cooked, use a slotted spoon to remove the beef from the skillet and set it aside, ensuring you reserve the juices in the pan for the vegetables.
-
Stir-Fry the Vegetables: In the same skillet, add the mushrooms, broccoli florets, and sliced red bell pepper. Stir-fry these vegetables for about 3 minutes, or until they are crisp-tender but still vibrant in color. This ensures they maintain their nutritional value and crunch.
-
Combine Ingredients: Pour the prepared soy sauce mixture into the skillet with the vegetables, then return the reserved beef to the pan along with the sliced green onions. Cook and stir for an additional minute, or until the sauce thickens and coats the beef and vegetables evenly.
-
Serve: Serve your Oriental Beef and Broccoli Stir-Fry hot, accompanied by a generous portion of steamed rice, allowing the rice to soak up the savory sauce.
Enjoy this delightful dish that brings a taste of Asia to your dinner table, perfect for family meals or impressing guests!
