Stir-Fried Beef & Broccoli

Since this is originally a Chinese dish we’re going to prepare and cook it the Chinese way. The Chinese method of cooking is very quick and with high heat. They usually like to stir-fry at 80,000 BTU’s (British Thermal Unit), which is why you should have everything ready before you start. Another common thing you’ll notice when it comes to Chinese stir-fry is that the meat is always marinated in some way before introducing into the heat. With that in mind I’m going to follow Chinese technique in order to achieve the proper taste that you would expect for this Asian treat. So lets get busy, shall we?

Ingredients:

1 Lb. Beef sirloin

1½ Lb. Broccoli florets

1 Large carrot julienned

1 Small piece of ginger root peeled & julienned

2 Cloves of garlic peeled & smashed

1 Tbs. Dry red pepper flakes

Corn oil for stir-frying

Dry Sherry cooking wine*

Cornstarch*

Soy sauce*

Asian Sesame oil*

MSG*

White Sugar*

* = See measurements below!

The Marinade:

6 Tbs. Soy sauce (Silver Swan)

1 Tbs. White sugar

½ Tbs. Salt

1 Tsp. MSG

The Sauce:

3 Tbs. Cornstarch

3 Tbs. Soy sauce (Silver Swan)

¾ Cup beef broth or water

1 Tsp. MSG

1 Tsp. White sugar

½ Tbs. Dry Sherry cooking wine

3 Tbs. Asian sesame oil (a must)

Directions:

To prepare the beef; Slice beef across the grain into 1/8 inch thick bite-sized pieces. In a bowl mix together soy sauce, sugar, salt, msg, and the beef, cover, and let it marinate for 30 minutes in the fridge.

Make the sauce while beef is marinating; In a bowl mix and dissolve the cornstarch and then add the soy sauce, dry sherry, sugar, sesame oil, beef broth, and msg.

Now let’s begin—Heat wok and I mean let it heat really good and then add 2 Tbs. of corn oil and stir-fry beef for 15 seconds or until it’s no longer pink in small batches. Repeat this process until all beef is cooked then set aside.
