Brocolli Beef Recipe

This one has the best of both my worlds,beef *and* broccoli 

I insist on trying this Chinese American Classic. Definitely an edible delight.

Ingredients

• 3/4 pound flank or sirloin, sliced thinly across the grain
• 3/4 pound broccoli florets
• 2 tablespoons high-heat cooking oil
• 2 cloves garlic, very finely minced or smushed through garlic smusher
• 1 teaspoon cornstarch, dissolved in 1 tablespoon water

For beef marination:

• 1 teaspoon soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon Chinese rice wine (or dry sherry)
• 1/2 teaspoon cornstarch
• 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

For the sauce:

• 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
• 1 teaspoon Chinese rice wine (or dry sherry)
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 1/4 cup chicken broth

Procedure

1. Stir together the beef marination ingredients in a container. Add beef slices and mix until coated. Marinate the beef,if possible leave in a refridgerator for a while for marination to sink in. The longer the better.
2. Stir together the sauce ingredients in a bowl of your choosing.
3. Cook the broccoli in boiling, salted water until tender, about 2 minutes. Drain thoroughly.
4. Heat a large frying pan until a bead of water evaporates on contact. Add cooking oil and spread via swirling or a wooden spoon. Add the now marinated beef and immediately spread the beef out all over the surface of the pan in a single layer. Let the beef fry without flipping for 2 min. Flip the beef slices, add the garlic to the pan and fry for another 1 minute until the beef is brown.
5. Add the sauce and blanched broccoli (in that order) and bring to a boil. Pour in the previously dissolved cornstarch and cook, mix until the sauce boils and thickens which will take 40 seconds tops. 
6. Serve with accompaniments or eat as is!
