BEEF AND BROCCOLI

Categories     main-dish

Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 pound broccoli florets
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon sesame oil
2 teaspoons cornstarch, divided
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 pound flank steak
1/3 cup beef or chicken stock
2 teaspoons rice wine
1/4 cup oyster sauce
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 cloves garlic, minced

Steps:

  • Microwave the broccoli in a glass bowl covered with plastic wrap (holes poked for ventilation), about 1 to 2 minutes.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, sesame oil, 1 teaspoon cornstarch and baking soda. Slice the beef against the grain into thin strips and add it to your marinade. Let it sit for at least 20 minutes, or as long as overnight in the refrigerator.
  • In a separate small bowl, stir together the stock, rice wine, oyster sauce and remaining 1 teaspoon cornstarch until the cornstarch is fully dissolved.
  • Heat a wok or large skillet on high heat and add the oil. When a wisp of white smoke appears, toss the marinated beef and garlic into the pan. Cook for about 1 minute, continually moving the beef so it browns on all sides but is still rare. Once the beef is seared, add the broccoli and cook for an additional minute. Stir in the sauce and keep it all moving. Don't be afraid to scrape any bits off the bottom of the pan before they start to burn. Once the sauce has turned into a nice thick glaze, about 1 minute, serve immediately.

Number Of Ingredients 11

⅓ cup oyster sauce
2 teaspoons Asian (toasted) sesame oil

BEEF AND BROCCOLI



Beef and Broccoli image

Here is a streamlined, powerfully flavorful recipe for a delivery-food standby: velvety wok-fried beef in a oyster-soy sauce, served in a forest of green. ''It's diaspora food,'' the chef Jonathan Wu told me, describing the cooking of Chinese immigrants to the United States and a dish that is almost unknown in China but beloved in America. The recipe is a version of the one Wu's mother made for dinner when he was growing up outside Hartford, Conn., with a little chile-garlic paste added for zip and, thanks to the Brooklyn chef Dale Talde, a pat of butter swirled into the sauce at the end. This provides a plush gloss that is far better than the traditional cornstarch slurry. It is midweek family cooking at its best.

Categories     dinner, weekday, main course

Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/3 cup Shaoxing rice wine, dry sherry or sake
3 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 pound beef - chuck or rib steak - sliced thin against the grain
1/4 cup oyster sauce
1/2 tablespoon chile-garlic sauce, or to taste
1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon neutral oil, like canola, grapeseed or peanut
1 pound broccoli, the head cut into florets and the stems peeled and cut into planks
2 tablespoons unsalted butter

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, whisk together the wine, 2 tablespoons of the soy sauce and the cornstarch. Add the beef to the bowl, and toss to combine, then cover the bowl, and set aside for 20 minutes or so.
  • To make the sauce, combine in a small bowl the remaining soy sauce, the oyster sauce and the chile-garlic sauce, and mix to combine, then add a tablespoon of water and mix again. Set aside.
  • Heat the 1/2 cup of oil in a wok set over high heat. When the oil is hot and shimmering, add about half the beef to the wok, and stir-fry until it is browned and crisp and barely cooked through, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a bowl or plate, and set aside. Then repeat with remaining beef.
  • Pour off the oil in the wok, wipe it out with a towel and return it to the stove over high heat. Add the remaining tablespoon oil, and swirl it around and heat it until it is smoking. Add the broccoli and cook, tossing and stirring frequently, until lightly charred in spots, about 2 minutes.
  • Add 2 tablespoons water to the wok, and toss and stir the broccoli in the steam for an additional 2 minutes, then return beef to the wok, followed by the sauce. Cook, stirring and tossing frequently, for 30 seconds or so, then add the butter, and stir and toss again for 30 seconds more. Serve immediately, with rice.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of beef: Flank steak or skirt steak are both good choices for this dish, as they are thin and cook quickly. You can also use chicken or shrimp if you prefer.
  • Marinate the beef: Marinating the beef in a mixture of soy sauce, rice wine, and cornstarch will help to tenderize it and give it flavor.
  • Cook the beef in a hot wok: This will help to create a nice sear on the outside of the beef and keep it juicy on the inside.
  • Add the vegetables and sauce: Once the beef is cooked, add the vegetables and sauce to the wok and stir-fry until the vegetables are tender and the sauce is heated through.
  • Serve over rice: Beef and broccoli is traditionally served over rice, but you can also serve it over noodles or your favorite side dish.

Conclusion:

Beef and broccoli in a plum sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The combination of tender beef, crisp vegetables, and flavorful sauce is sure to please everyone at the table. With a few simple tips, you can make this dish even better.
