Beef with
broccoli
Ingredients:
For the marinade:
• 2 cups beef, cut into
bitesized pieces
• 1 tbsp oyster sauce
• 2 tbsp soy sauce
• 1 tbsp vinegar
• 1 tbsp ginger paste
• 1 tsp black pepper
• 1 tbsp cornstarch
For the stir fry:
• 1 medium sized broccoli
• 1 medium carrot
• 3 big cloves of garlic
• 1 small sized onion
• 2 dried chillies, thinly sliced
• 2 tsp sugar
• 2 tbsp soy sauce, and some
extra if needed
Directions:
Mix everything for the
marinade with the beef and
let it sit in the fridge for a few
hours. You can do this part
the night before and keep it in
the fridge. It makes the beef
tender.
First, heat 1/4 cup oil in wok
and add the chillies and garlic.
Fry until the garlic is light
brown. Add the beef and stir
fry over high heat continuously
for about four to five minutes,
until it changes colour. Once
it’s done, take it out of the pan.
Wipe the wok clean.
Heat two tablespoons of oil in
the wok and add the onion.
Stir for one minute and add the
carrot first. Splash a little water
and stir fry until the carrots are
slightly tender. (I put the carrot
first because broccoli doesn’t
take long to cook at all). Now
add the broccoli. Fry for two
minutes. Add the beef back
into the wok.
Stir until everything is well
combined. Add the sugar and
the extra soy sauce. Taste it
and add salt if needed. Add
a bit of extra black pepper.
Serve hot with steamed or fried
rice.•
