Prep time: 30 minutes
Total time: 45 minutes
Serves: 4

Ingredients:

  • 1 lb. beef sirloin, sliced thinly against the grain
  • 1 head of broccoli, cut into florets
  • 2 Tb. soy sauce
  • 2 Tb. oyster sauce
  • 2 Tb. hoisin sauce
  • ¼ cup brown sugar
  • 1 tsp. cornstarch
  • 1 tsp. baking soda
  • 1 egg white
  • 2 tsp. vegetable oil
  • 1 Tb. minced garlic
  • ½ white onion, roughly diced
  • 1 bunch green onions, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Directions:

  • 1

    Freeze the beef for 30 minutes—it makes it easier to cut. Slice it thinly against the grain.

  • 2

    In a bowl, mix the cornstarch, baking soda and egg white.

  • 3

    Add the sliced beef to the bowl and mix well to coat all the pieces. Let the beef sit for about 30 minutes.

  • 4

    In a separate bowl, mix in your beef broth, soy sauce, oyster sauce, hoisin sauce and brown sugar.

  • 5

    Prepare the broccoli by cutting it into bite-sized florets.

  • 6

    Bring a pot of water to a boil and blanch the broccoli for about 2 to 3 minutes until it turns bright green. Drain and set aside.

  • 7

    Heat 1 teaspoon of the vegetable oil in a wok or large skillet over high heat. Add the minced garlic, green onions and white onions and stir-fry for about 10 seconds until fragrant.

  • 8

    Add the beef and stir-fry for about 2 to 3 minutes until it turns brown and is halfway cooked through.

  • 9

    Add the soy sauce mixture to the wok or skillet and stir-fry for another minute until the beef is fully cooked and the sauce thickens.

  • 10

    Finally, add the blanched broccoli to the wok or skillet and stir-fry for another 1 to 2 minutes until the broccoli is heated through and coated with the sauce.

  • 11

    Taste and season with salt and pepper as needed.
