Ingredients

  • about 450 g Beef sirloin
  • 4 cups Broccoli florets
  • 2 cloves Garlic
  • 2.54 cm Ginger
  • 3 tbsp Soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp Oyster sauce
  • 1 tbsp Brown sugar
  • 1 tbsp Cornstarch
  • 2 tbsp Water
  • 2 tbsp Vegetable oil
  • 4 cups Cooked rice

Original measure retained: its cup/spoon or fluid-volume standard is unspecified.

Instructions

  1. 1In a medium bowl, whisk together the 3 tablespoons of soy sauce, 2 tablespoons of oyster sauce, 1 tablespoon of brown sugar, 1 tablespoon of cornstarch, and 2 tablespoons of water until the cornstarch is fully dissolved. This is your sauce. Set this bowl aside.
  2. 2Prepare your aromatics: peel and mince the 2 cloves of garlic, and peel and mince the 2.54 cm of ginger.
  3. 3Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat, about 204.4°C (200°C).
  4. 4Add the minced 2 cloves of garlic and minced 2.54 cm of ginger to the hot skillet. Sauté for 1 minute, stirring constantly, until they smell fragrant.
  5. 5Add the about 450 g of beef sirloin to the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 4-6 minutes, until the beef is browned on all sides. The internal temperature should reach 63°C.
  6. 6Add the 4 cups of broccoli florets to the skillet with the beef. Stir-fry for 3-5 minutes, until the broccoli is bright green and tender-crisp. You want it to still have a slight bite.
  7. 7Pour the prepared sauce mixture over the beef and broccoli in the skillet. Stir everything together and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens and coats the beef and broccoli. It should look glossy.
  8. 8Serve the beef and broccoli immediately over the 4 cups of cooked rice.
