Recipe type: Main
Cuisine: Chinese
Serves: 2-4
Ingredients
  • 1 lb lean sirloin beef, thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoon cornstarch
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • 4 tablespoon soy sauce, divided
  • 3 tablespoon olive oil, divided
  • ½ cup broth, divided
  • Florets of 2 broccoli heads, (about a pound)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, chopped
  • 2 teaspoon minced garlic
  • ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes, or according to taste
  • ¼ cup water
Instructions
  1. Combine cornstarch, salt, black pepper and 2 tablespoon soy sauce; add beef and marinate about 5-10 minutes.
  2. Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large nonstick wok or deep skillet over medium-high. Add beef and stir-fry until lightly browned and cooked through, about 5-8 minutes. Transfer meat to a bowl with a slotted spoon.
  3. Add ginger and garlic to the same pan and stir-fry until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  4. Pour ½ cup broth to same pan; stir to loosen any bits on food on bottom of pan. Add broccoli.
  5. Cook tossing occasionally and sprinkling a tablespoon water now and then, if needed, until broccoli is crisp-tender.
  6. In a cup, stir together water, remaining soy sauce, and red pepper flakes. Stir into pan.
  7. Reduce heat to medium-low and bring to a simmer.
  8. Return beef and accumulated juices to pan; toss to coat and serve.
Notes
If you like thicker gravy, add 1 tablespoon of cornstarch in the water on step 6.
You can substitute broth with water. When I am out of stock, I often just use water and the dish is still flavorful.
