Cook Book

Ingredients

1/2 lb Beef, cut into very thin slices (about 2" wide)

Marinade:

1 tsp Cornstarch

1 tbsp Soy sauce

1 clove Garlic, minced

3-4 slices Peeled fresh ginger(about the size of a quarter), minced

1 tsp Sherry

1 tbsp Oil

3 tbsp Oil

1 lb Broccoli, cut into small pieces

2 tbsp Water

Gravy:

1 tsp Cornstarch

1 tsp Sugar

1 tsp Water

2 tsp Soy sauce

Preparation

Marinate beef slices for 30-60 minutes. Break broccole heads into 1 inch pieces and cut stems into thin slivers; set aside.


Heat 2 tbsp oil in wok until very hot, then stir-fry beef until it is medium rare. Remove and set aside. Heat 1 tbsp oil until very hot, then stir-fry broccoli 1 minute. Add 2 tbsp water, cover, and simmer 5 minutes or until the stems are tender. Add the beef and gravy mixture. Cook until the sauce thickens.

Cook's Notes

Cut the beef across the grain. It is easier to cut if it's partially frozen. Don't overcook the meat or it will be tough. The broccoli stays bright green because it is stir fried. This dish tastes as good as it looks. For a more Oriental flavor, add 1-2 tbsp bottled oyster sauce to the gravy.
