Ingredients:
- 250 grams beef sirloin, thinly sliced
- 1 medium head of broccoli, cut into florets
- 1/2 onion, sliced lengthwise
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 piece ginger, grated
- 3 tablespoons teriyaki sauce
- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
- 1 tablespoon sweet soy sauce
- Sugar, salt, and ground pepper to taste
- Water as needed
- Butter or margarine for sautéing
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, combine the teriyaki sauce, oyster sauce, sweet soy sauce, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Stir until well mixed.
-
Marinate the Beef: Place the thinly sliced beef into the marinade, ensuring each piece is well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
-
Cook the Beef: Heat a pan over medium-high heat and add a generous amount of butter or margarine. Once melted, add the marinated beef slices and sauté briefly. Pour in a small amount of water to help deglaze the pan and create a bit of sauce.
-
Season and Simmer: Add sugar, salt, and ground pepper to taste. Continue to cook the beef until it is thoroughly cooked and tender. If necessary, add more water to the pan to prevent burning and ensure the beef cooks evenly.
-
Add Vegetables: When the beef is cooked and the liquid has reduced, stir in the sliced onions and broccoli florets. Cook for a few more minutes until the broccoli is tender but still vibrant and the onions are softened.
-
Finish and Serve: Once everything is well combined and cooked to your liking, remove from heat. Serve hot and enjoy!
Tips:
- For a richer flavor, let the beef marinate longer, up to overnight if possible.
- Adjust the amount of sugar, salt, and pepper according to your taste preference.
- Serve with steamed rice or noodles for a complete meal.
Happy cooking! 😊
