beef broccoli

This is the classic recipe that is present in every Chinese restaurant I've been in anywhere in the world (and I've been to quite a few over the years), and provides an easy lesson in wok stir-frying at the same time.

Makes 4 servings

3 Tbs Peanut oil
1-1/2 lb Round steak, sliced into 1/4-inch strips
1 Garlic clove, minced
1/2 tsp Fresh ginger, grated
2-1/2 Cups Fresh broccoli florets
1/2 Cup Sliced onion
1/3 Cup Oyster sauce
Cup Chicken broth
1 Tbs Corn starch
1 Tbs Water

Heat the peanut oil in a wok until just smoking. Add the sliced steak, garlic and ginger, and stir-fry until the meat has browned. Remove the seasoned meat from wok with a slotted spoon. Set aside.

To the wok, add the broccoli florets and onion slices. Cover and steam on high for 3-5 minutes, or until the broccoli has turned bright green and become tender.
Pour in the oyster sauce and chicken broth. Saute to completely coat the broccoli and onions.

Make a slurry with the corn starch and water. Add in enough slurry to the wok to thicken the sauce. Add back the beef; heat through until hot.

Serve immediately with steamed white rice.
