Beef and Broccoli

I got this from the blog "Fox and Briar". It's outstanding and has the perfect amount of oyster sauce, which is really the key ingredient in beef and broccoli. I altered the recipe a little bit - I don't add baking soda or oyster sauce to the raw meat. I don't use beef broth. To me the ginger is optional. I also added sake because sake makes everything better.


Beef

1lb to 1.5lbs flank steak (sliced thinly across the grain)

1 tsbp cornstarch

kosher salt

black pepper


Broccoli

broccoli

sesame oil

red pepper flakes


Sauce

1/4 cup low sodium soy sauce

1 tbsp brown sugar

1 tbsp oyster sauce

6 cloves garlic minced

1 tbsp fresh ginger (optional)

1 tbsp sesame oil

1 tbsp good sake

2 tsp cornstarch


Garnish

1/2 cup scallions


Boil the broccoli for 3-4 minutes. You want it very al dente. Set aside.

Mix the ingredients for the sauce.

Lightly salt and pepper the steak. Add the cornstarch.

In a non-oiled, non-stick pan saute the steak in small batches to get a nice caramelization on it. Add all the beef back into the pan then add the sauce and let boil for a minute. Add the broccoli and mix. Turn off the heat and garnish with 1/2 cup scallions
