Homemade Chinese - Beef & Broccoli
Adapted from this recipe on food.com.
Beef and Broccoli
Ingredients:
1 lb flank steak
2 Tbsp soy sauce
1 Tbsp dry sherry
1 tsp cornstarch
1 lb broccoli, cut into stalks and steamed until vibrant in color and crunchy
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 inches fresh ginger, peeled and minced
2 tbsp canola oil
Directions:
Slice the steak thinly against the grain into very thin slices. I like to cut my steak in half (or in thirds) lengthwise before I do this so the slices are bite size. Place the steak into a large ziplock bag.
Combine the soy sauce, sherry, and cornstarch in a small bowl with a whisk and pour this mixture over the steak. Marinade the meat for 15 minutes.
While the meat is marinating, prepare the broccoli and mince the garlic and ginger.
Heat a large wok or skillet on high heat. Add the oil, wait about 30 seconds, and then add the beef. Stir fry constantly for about 1 minute and then add the garlic, ginger and broccoli.
Cook for an additional 4-5 minutes.
My husband has been asking me to make a chinese beef and broccoli dish for a while, but I had a hard time finding a good one. This recipe sounds really good! I'm hoping to make it next week!
ReplyDeleteOh you are a girl after my own heart! I make stir-fry all the time but I go to Panda Express when I want Broccoli Beef because I don't know how to make it. That was slightly embarrassing to write. I'm excited to try this recipe, and great tip on slicing the meat in half before slicing for bite-sized pieces. I hadn't thought to try that.
