Beef And Chinese Broccoli In Oyster Sauce Recipes

BEEF WITH CHINESE BROCCOLI

Steps:

• Trim off any excess fat and fibrous membrane from the flank steak, and use a sharp knife to slice ¼-inch thick pieces about 2½ inches wide at a 45 degree angle. Be sure to cut the beef against the grain. If you're knife skills are not that good, place the beef into the freezer until it is firm but not frozen; slicing the beef will be much easier!
• Add 1 teaspoon each of cornstarch, oil, and soy sauce to the beef in a bowl. Use your hands to massage these ingredients into the beef and set aside to marinate for 20 minutes.
• After the beef has marinated, heat a wok over high heat. Add a tablespoon of oil. When the oil starts to smoke, sear the beef for 30-60 seconds, just until browned. Remove from the wok and set aside. Add 2 more tablespoons of oil to the wok along with the ginger. Let the ginger caramelize for 15 seconds. Add the garlic and Chinese broccoli, and stir-fry for 1 minute, making sure the vegetables are cooking evenly. The Chinese broccoli will start turning a bright green.
• Add the beef, oyster sauce, soy sauce, salt, sugar, sesame oil and hot chicken stock and stir-fry until mixed thoroughly. (Use hot chicken stock so you don't kill the stir-fry party going on in the wok by reducing the temperature of the ingredients. Nothing worse than adding cold chicken stock and then having to wait minutes for the liquid to get back to a boiling, sizzling state.)
• Once the liquid comes to a boil, push the beef and vegetables away from the middle of the wok and stir in the cornstarch slurry gradually to thicken the sauce. Use only what you need! Mix everything until the beef and vegetables are thoroughly coated. If you like more sauce, you can increase the chicken or beef stock, seasonings and cornstarch accordingly.
• Plate and serve over hot steamed rice.

• During this time, remove any tough skin of the Chinese broccoli. And then cut into sections with angle. Separate the leaves too. Bring water to boil in a large pot, add 1 teaspoon of sesame oil and a small pinch of salt (this step can help to keep the green color of the leaves and the crunchy texture, applying to all dark leafy vegetables ). Add Chinese broccoli in, stem firstly and leaves secondly. Blanch Chinese broccoli until the water boils again. Transfer out and drain.
• In a small bowl, mix oyster sauce, dark soy sauce, sugar and sesame oil together.
• Add 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a hot wok with ginger slices (the wok should be heated firstly). Place the beef in when the oil is warm but not hot. Let it stay for a while until the starch finish gelatinization and then fry for a while until the beef changes color (Don't overcook the beef ).
• Add stir fry sauce and blanched Chinese broccoli. Mix well and transfer out completely.
