Beef and Broccoli Stir-Fry
Ingredients:
- 3 small heads of broccoli
- 200 grams of beef, sliced thinly
- 3 cloves of garlic
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
- Seasoning powder (optional)
- 5 tablespoons of oyster sauce
- 1 tablespoon of cornstarch
- Water as needed
- Oil for frying
Steps:
-
Marinate the Beef: Combine the beef slices with oyster sauce and cornstarch in a bowl, mixing thoroughly. Allow the mixture to marinate in the refrigerator for about 3 hours.
-
Cook the Beef: Heat oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the marinated beef. Stir and cook the beef until it is fully cooked and no longer red.
-
Add the Garlic: Once the beef is fragrant and cooked, add the minced garlic to the pan. Stir and cook until the garlic is fragrant.
-
Add Water: Pour in enough water to the pan to create a light sauce. Bring the mixture to a boil.
-
Season the Dish: Add salt, pepper, and any additional seasoning to taste. Stir to combine.
-
Cook the Broccoli: Add the broccoli to the pan. Stir and cook for a short time until the broccoli is tender yet still crisp.
-
Serve: Remove the pan from heat and serve the beef and broccoli stir-fry hot.
Tips:
-
Bright Green Broccoli: To ensure your broccoli stays bright green and attractive, blanch it briefly in hot water for 1 minute before adding it to the stir-fry. After blanching, immediately transfer the broccoli to cold water to stop the cooking process.
-
Cleaning Broccoli: To ensure your broccoli is clean and free of any insects, soak the cut broccoli in salted water for a few minutes before blanching or cooking.
-
Using Broccoli Stems: Don’t discard the broccoli stems. Peel the tough outer layer, then slice the stems to your preferred size. They are delicious and add texture to the dish.
