EASY BEEF AND BROCOLI

BEEF AND BROCOLI
1 lb beef, thinly sliced*
2 TBSP water
1 TBSP shaoxing wine
1/2 tsp kosher salt
1/2 tsp baking soda
2 TBSP cornstarch
Drizzle oil of choice
*i used NY strip but beef flank, eye round can also be used
SAUCE
1/2 cup light sodium soy sauce
1/2 cup water
2 TBSP cornstarch
2 TBSP sugar
Black pepper to taste
Drizzle sesame oil
ADDITIONAL INGREDIENTS
2 head of broccoli , prep to florets
1 TBSP minced ginger
1 TBSP minced garlic
Sesame seeds,
1. Thinly slice beef. Marinate with water, shaoxing wine, kosher salt and baking soda. Combine well then add cornstarch and oil. Combine well and set aside for 5-10 mins so everything can absorb.
- After 5-10 mins, we need to cook. Heat up a generous amount of oil and deep fry/ pan fry/ cook your beef. I like to do this in batches so the pan doesn’t over crowd. Remove beef from heat and set aside. (Note: your beef might stick together so just stir and separate it)
2. Prepare your broccoli into florets. Cook in boiling water for 1 minutes. Drain and set aside.
3. In a wok or pan (I like to use the same pan I used go cook my beef but remove most of the oil), heat up some oil and cook minced ginger and garlic for til fragrant.
4. Once fragrant, add all of the ingredients listed under SAUCE. Cook this until it thickens. When it thickens, add your broccoli and beef, combine well, turn off heat, top with sesame seeds and serve with rice.
