A delightful and easy-to-make beef and broccoli stir-fry with a savory sauce.
Combine the cornstarch and rice wine in a mixing bowl.
Mix until the cornstarch is fully dissolved for an even marinade.
Add the sliced beef to the marinade and let it sit for 30 minutes.
Marinating the beef enhances its flavor and tenderness.
Prepare the sauce by mixing soy sauce and brown sugar in a small bowl.
Ensure the sugar is fully dissolved for a smooth sauce.
Cut the broccoli into small florets and chop the green onions.
Cutting the broccoli into uniform pieces ensures even cooking.
Heat the vegetable oil in a wok over medium heat.
Ensure the wok is hot before adding ingredients to prevent sticking.
Stir-fry the marinated beef until it starts to brown but is not fully cooked.
Cook in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the wok.
Add the green onions and the prepared sauce to the wok.
Stir quickly to coat the beef evenly with the sauce.
Add the broccoli and oyster sauce, stirring for 5 minutes.
Adding a pinch of baking soda helps retain the broccoli's vibrant color.
Pour in the water and stir-fry for an additional minute.
This step ensures the broccoli is tender yet crisp.
Serve the stir-fry warm, garnished with additional green onions if desired.
Serve immediately to enjoy the dish at its best.
