Chinese beef and broccoli?

Question

What is the recipe to make the beef that there is in the Chinese food along side the broccoli. Just the beef and the sauce that is on it (I think it is regular soy sauce IDK). The regular beef that is in most Chinese food orders.

Answer 1

Here you go!  :)

*3/4 pound lean beef

Marinade:

* 1 tablespoon rice vinegar (substitute rice wine if desired)

* 1 teaspoon sugar

* 1 teaspoon soy sauce

* 1 tablespoon water

* 1 tablespoon cornstarch

Sauce:

* 2 tablespoons oyster sauce

* 1 tablespoon light soy sauce

* 1 tablespoon dark soy sauce

* 1 tablespoon water

Thickener:

* 1 teaspoon cornstarch mixed with 1 tablespoon water

* 2 garlic cloves, minced

Cut the beef across the grain into thin slices. Add the marinade ingredients, adding the cornstarch last (use your fingers to rub it in). Marinate the beef for 30 minutes.

While the beef is marinating, prepare the sauce:  mix together the oyster sauce, light soy, dark soy, and water in a small bowl and set aside. In another small bowl, mix the cornstarch and water thickener and set aside.

Heat the wok and add 1 cup oil. When the oil is medium-hot (between 300 and 325 degrees F.), add the beef. Blanch the beef by letting it lay flat for 30 - 40 seconds, and then stirring to separate the pieces. Remove the beef when it changes color and is nearly cooked (the entire process takes 1 - 2 minutes).  Remove the beef from the wok and drain on paper towels.

Clean out the wok with paper towels.

Add 2 tablespoons oil to the wok. When the oil is hot, add the crushed garlic and stir fry briefly until aromatic.  Add the beef. Add the sauce and cornstarch mixture in the middle of the wok and stir quickly to thicken. Mix everything together and serve hot over steamed rice.
