Ingredients

• 1 tsp Soy Sauce
• 1 tsp Dry sherry
• 1/2 tsp Cornstarch
• 1/8 teaspoon Black Pepper
• 1 lb Sirloin steak
• 2 tablespoons Oyster Sauce
• 1 tsp Dry sherry
• 1 tablespoon Soy Sauce
• 1/4 cup Chicken Stock
• 1 lb Broccoli
• 2 tablespoons High Heat Cooking Oil
• 2 cloves minced Garlic
• 1 tsp Cornstarch
• 1 tablespoon Water

Directions

1. Step 1: Marinate the beef:
2. Step 2: Stir together the beef marinade ingredients (1 teaspoon soy sauce, 1 teaspoon Chinese rice wine, 1/2 teaspoon cornstarch, 1/8 teaspoon black pepper) in a medium bowl.
3. Step 3: Add the beef slices and stir until coated. Let stand for 10 minutes.
4. Step 4: Prepare the sauce:
5. Step 5: Stir together the sauce ingredients (2 tablespoons oyster sauce, 1 teaspoon Chinese rice wine, 1 teaspoon soy sauce, 1/4 cup chicken broth) in a small bowl. Set aside.
6. Step 6: Blanch or steam the broccoli:
7. Step 7: Bring a pot of water to a boil. Add the broccoli and cook until crisp-tender, about 2 minutes. Drain thoroughly.
8. Step 8: Stir-fry the beef:
9. Step 9: Heat a large frying pan or wok over high heat until a bead of water sizzles and instantly evaporates upon contact. Add the cooking oil and swirl to coat.
10. Step 10: Add the beef and immediately spread it out all over the surface of the wok or pan in a single layer (preferably not touching).
11. Step 11: Let the beef fry undisturbed for 1 minute. Flip the beef slices over, add the garlic to the pan, and fry for an additional 30 seconds to 1 minute until no longer pink.
12. Step 12: Add the sauce, cornstarch, and broccoli:
13. Step 13: Pour in the sauce and the cornstarch slurry (1 teaspoon cornstarch dissolved in 1 tablespoon of water). Stir until the sauce boils and thickens, about 30 seconds. Stir in the broccoli.
