BEEF AND BROCCOLI WITH OYSTER SAUCE
This is from the Williams-Sonoma Cookbook, and it is SOOOOOO good! *I made this using top sirloin instead of the flank steak. Also to cut some cooking time instead of boiling the broccoli, I microwaved it for 2 minutes in a bowl with a tablespoon of water covered in saran wrap.

- When the pan is hot, add 2-3 Table. vegetable oil.
- After 10 seconds, add the meat, garlic powder, and 2 Tablespoons of the oyster sauce. Stir-fry just until most of the pink is gone from the meat.
- Add the half cooked broccoli, 3 Tablespoons oyster sauce and a dash of salt. You might feel the need to add a little more oyster sauce according to your tastes. Only cook the broccoli another minute or two as you want it to still be slightly crisp.
- Turn off the heat and sprinkle with the sesame seed oil.

Steps:
- Place the beef in a bowl with the soy, five-spice, rice wine, chilli and cornflour, and season with black pepper. Mix well so the beef is completely coated in the thick paste and leave to marinate for at least 10 mins but 30 mins is better.
- Heat 2 tbsp of oil in a wok until very hot. Add the beef to the wok, but do not overcrowd the pan - the beef needs to be in a single layer. If necessary, cook the beef in batches. Fry the beef vigorously for about 3 mins until brown and crisp and scoop onto a plate.
- When all the beef is cooked give the wok a quick wipe out. Heat the remaining oil and stir fry the peppers and broccoli for a minute then pour over the stock and add the oyster sauce. Simmer everything together for 1 min then add the beef to the wok and boil briefly to thicken the sauce then serve straight away with rice or noodles.

Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will directly impact the flavor of your dish. Choose fresh, tender beef and crisp, vibrant broccoli. Use a good-quality oyster sauce and soy sauce, and make sure your cornstarch is fresh.
- Tenderize the beef: To ensure the beef is tender and flavorful, consider marinating it in a mixture of soy sauce, rice wine, and cornstarch for at least 30 minutes before cooking. This will help break down the tough fibers and enhance the flavor.
- Blanch the broccoli: Blanching the broccoli briefly helps retain its鮮豔的綠色 and crisp texture. Make sure to shock it in cold water immediately after blanching to stop the cooking process.
- Use a hot wok: A hot wok is essential for achieving the signature wok hei or "breath of the wok" flavor. Heat your wok over high heat until it's smoking before adding the oil.
- Cook the beef in batches: Don't overcrowd the wok when cooking the beef. Cook it in batches to ensure it gets evenly browned and doesn't steam.
- Don't overcook the broccoli: Broccoli cooks quickly, so be careful not to overcook it. It should still have a slight crunch when you bite into it.
- Thicken the sauce with cornstarch: To create a rich and flavorful sauce, mix cornstarch with water or broth until you have a smooth slurry. Add this slurry to the wok towards the end of cooking, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens.
Conclusion:
Beef with broccoli is a classic Chinese dish that is both delicious and easy to make. By following these tips, you can create a restaurant-quality dish in your own home. With its tender beef, crisp broccoli, and flavorful sauce, this dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
