Print Recipe

A comforting dish with tender beef and crisp broccoli in a savory sauce that brings warmth to your dinner table.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb flank steak (or skirt steak, or other cut)
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon peanut oil (or vegetable oil)
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda (optional)
  • 1/2 cup chicken stock (or beef stock)
  • 2 tablespoons Shaoxing wine (or dry sherry)
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon dark soy sauce
  • 2 teaspoons brown sugar (or white sugar)
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 head broccoli (cut into bite-sized florets)
  • 1 tablespoon peanut oil (or vegetable oil)
  • 3 garlic cloves (minced)
  • 2 teaspoons ginger (minced)

Instructions

  1. Slice the beef against the grain into 0.5 cm (1/4 inch) thick slices or 1 cm (1/2 inch) sticks. Mix with soy sauce, peanut oil, and cornstarch, then marinate for 10 minutes.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine chicken stock, Shaoxing wine, soy sauce, dark soy sauce, and brown sugar; set aside.
  3. Bring water to a boil in a nonstick skillet. Steam the broccoli for 1 minute, then set aside.
  4. Heat peanut oil in the skillet. Cook the marinated beef for 2–3 minutes until browned.
  5. Add minced garlic and ginger, then return the steamed broccoli to the pan.
  6. Pour the sauce into the skillet, cooking until it thickens, about 1 minute. Serve hot over rice.

Notes

For extra flavor, marinate beef longer and consider adding a dash of red pepper flakes for heat.
