Beef and Broccoli Stir-Fry

Method

1. 1

   Toss the sliced beef with 1 tablespoon of the soy sauce and 1 teaspoon of the cornstarch and let it sit while you prep everything else.

   💡 Even ten minutes of marinating keeps the beef tender through the high heat that follows.

2. 2

   Drop the broccoli into boiling water for 90 seconds until bright green, then drain well.

   💡 Pull it the moment it turns vivid — it finishes cooking in the wok.

3. 3

   Stir the remaining soy sauce, oyster sauce, brown sugar, stock and remaining cornstarch together — this is the entire sauce, ready to pour.

4. 4

   Heat half the oil in a wok until just smoking, lay the beef in one layer and sear undisturbed 1 minute, then stir until browned but not fully cooked through. Remove to a plate.

5. 5

   Add the remaining oil, then the garlic and ginger, and stir 20 seconds until fragrant.

6. 6

   Add the drained broccoli, toss 1 minute, then return the beef to the wok.

7. 7

   Pour in the sauce and toss everything over high heat until it turns glossy and clings to the beef and broccoli, about 1 minute. Serve immediately over rice.
