Ingredients

8 oz (230g) beef tenderloin flank steak or flap meat, cut into pieces

6 oz (170g) broccoli florets

water for boiling

2 1/2 tablespoons oil

2- inches (5cm) ginger peeled and sliced

Marinade:

1/2 tablespoon soy sauce

1 teaspoon rice wine or sherry

1/2 teaspoon sesame oil optional

3 dashes white pepper

1 tablespoon corn starch

Sauce:

1 tablespoon soy sauce

1 tablespoon oyster sauce

1/4 teaspoon sesame oil

1/2 teaspoon sugar

1 teaspoon corn starch

4 tablespoons water

Instructions

Marinate the beef with all the ingredients for the Marinade, about 15 minutes.

Bring the water to boil and add a few drops of oil. Blanch the broccoli florets in the hot water, about 10 seconds. Remove the broccoli immediately with a strainer or slotted spoon, draining the excess water. Set aside.

Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a wok or skillet over high heat. Stir-fry the beef until 70% cooked. Dish out and set aside.

Heat the remaining oil in a wok or skillet over high heat. Add the ginger and stir-fry until aromatic. Transfer the beef into the wok or skillet and stir-fry until the beef is cooked through and the center of the meat is no longer pink, about 1-2 minutes. Add the broccoli and then the Sauce, stir to combine the ingredients well.

As soon as the sauce thickens, dish out and serve immediately.
