Ingredients:
- 1/2 kg (500 grams) broccoli
- 100 grams beef (thinly sliced)
- 1 large onion (sliced)
- 3 cloves garlic (minced)
- 10 small red chili peppers (sliced)
- 1 thumb-sized piece of ginger (sliced)
- 2 tablespoons teriyaki sauce
- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon sweet soy sauce (kecap manis)
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce (kecap asin)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground pepper
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- A little cooking oil
- A splash of water
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Broccoli: Begin by cleaning the broccoli thoroughly. Remove the tough stems and cut the florets into bite-sized pieces. Soak the broccoli in water and rinse it well. Set aside.
-
Marinate the Beef: Thinly slice the beef and rinse it under cold water. In a bowl, combine the beef with teriyaki sauce, oyster sauce, ground pepper, and salt. Mix well to ensure the beef is evenly coated. Cover and refrigerate to allow the flavors to meld, ideally for at least 30 minutes.
-
Sauté the Aromatics: Heat a small amount of cooking oil in a large pan or wok over medium heat. Add the sliced onion, minced garlic, sliced chili peppers, and ginger. Stir-fry until the mixture becomes fragrant and the onion starts to become translucent.
-
Cook the Beef: Add the marinated beef to the pan with the aromatics. Stir-fry until the beef is browned and cooked through, which should take about 5-7 minutes. If the beef releases too much liquid, increase the heat to evaporate excess moisture.
-
Add Sauces: Once the beef is cooked, stir in the sweet soy sauce, soy sauce, sesame oil, and sugar. Mix well and add a splash of water to help create a flavorful sauce. Cover the pan and let it simmer for about 10 minutes, allowing the beef to become tender and the flavors to combine.
-
Incorporate the Broccoli: Add the broccoli florets to the pan. Stir to combine and cook until the broccoli is tender but still crisp, about 5 minutes. Adjust the seasoning to taste if needed.
-
Serve: Once the broccoli is cooked to your liking, remove the pan from heat. Serve the Broccoli and Teriyaki Beef Stir-Fry hot, either on its own or over a bed of steamed rice.
Enjoy the vibrant flavors and satisfying crunch of this quick and easy dish, perfect for a hearty and nutritious meal that’s sure to become a family favorite!
