Chinese Beef and Broccoli

Here's another wok recipe.  It features oyster sauce which I think is a really clever way to create a stir fry sauce with a nice texture. Be very careful not to overcook your beef because it will cook quickly!  I used a ton of ginger in this and it gave it a great healthy flavor.  I served this over brown rice.

Ingredients

• 1/3 cup oyster sauce
• 2 teaspoons Asian (toasted) sesame oil
• 1/3 cup sherry
• 1 teaspoon soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon white sugar
• 1 teaspoon cornstarch
• 3/4 pound beef round steak, cut into 1/8-inch thick strips
• 3 tablespoons vegetable oil, plus more if needed
• 1 thin slice of fresh ginger root
• 1 clove garlic, peeled and smashed
• 1 pound broccoli, cut into florets

Directions

1. Whisk together the oyster sauce, sesame oil, sherry, soy sauce, sugar, and cornstarch in a bowl, and stir until the sugar has dissolved. Place the steak pieces into a shallow bowl, pour the oyster sauce mixture over the meat, stir to coat well, and marinate for at least 30 minutes in refrigerator.
2. Heat vegetable oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat, and stir in the ginger and garlic. Let them sizzle in the hot oil for about 1 minute. Stir in the broccoli, and toss and stir in the hot oil until bright green and almost tender, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove the broccoli from the wok, and set aside.
3. Pour a little more oil into the wok, if needed, and stir and toss the beef with the marinade until the sauce forms a glaze on the beef, and the meat is no longer pink, about 5 minutes. Return the cooked broccoli to the wok, and stir until the meat and broccoli are heated through, about 3 minutes.
