Beef & Broccoli - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 1 lb beef tenderloin or 1 lb sirloin
1 teaspoon brown sugar
4 teaspoons dark sesame oil
4 teaspoons rice wine or 4 teaspoons dry sherry
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 teaspoons minced ginger
2 teaspoons cornstarch
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 lb broccoli, chopped
1/4 cup water
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
4 teaspoons rice wine or 4 teaspoons dry sherry
2 tablespoons oyster sauce
2 teaspoons cornstarch
4 tablespoons water

Preparation

Slice beef across the grain into thin slices (best done when partially frozen).
Mix together 1 tsp brown sugar with 4 tsp sesame oil, 4 tsp rice wine, and 2 tsp cornstarch.
Pour this mixture over beef and allow beef to rest for 30 minutes.
In a small bowl, combine remaining 4 tsp rice wine, 2 tbsp oyster sauce, 2 tsp cornstarch, and 4 tbsp water.
Heat wok or deep skillet on high heat.
Add 2 tbsp vegetable oil, and when it is hot, and ginger and salt.
Wait a few seconds, then add the broccoli, and stir-fry for one minute.
Then add the water to the broccoli, and steam-fry the broccoli until the water evaporates.
Remove broccoli from wok or skillet.
Reheat wok or skillet on high and add remaining 2 tbsp vegetable oil.
Add beef and stir-fry, but do not stir too much- allow the beef to sear against the pan.
When it has browned, add the seasoning sauce (stirring first to re-mix the cornstarch).
Add broccoli back to wok or skillet and stir to mix.
When sauce has thickened and stir-fry is hot, serve.
