Chinese Beef and Broccoli

Ingredients

• Beef 500g (your choice of cut)
• 2 Garlic Cloves (chopped)
• 2 tbsp Fresh Ginger (chopped)
• 3 tbsp Oyster Sauce
• 4 tbsp Soy Sauce
• 1/4 tsp Bicarb powder
• 1 cup Chicken Stock
• 2 tbsp Rice Wine Vinegar
• 1 tsp Sesame Oil
• 1 1/2 tbsp Brown Sugar
• 1 1/2 tbsp Cornflour
• 1 whole Broccoli (cut into florets)
• 1 Brown Onion (sliced)
• Toasted Sesame Seeds

Method

1. Slice your beef into thin strips (or use already sliced stir-fry beef) and set aside in a bowl
2. Add half of the chopped garlic, half of the chopped ginger and all the bicarb to the bowl with the beef and mix through
3. To the bowl of beef, pour over 1 tbsp of the Oyster Sauce and 1 tbsp of the Soy sauce and set bowl aside
4. In a separate bowl, mix together the remaining ingredients for the sauce
5. Toss the beef and sliced onion in a hot pan or wok until beef is just browned, then remove and set aside
6. Pour the sauce into the same hot pan and let it simmer until it starts to thicken (you can slowly add a bit more cornstarch mixed with water if you find the sauce is still too thin)
7. While the sauce is simmering, steam the broccoli florets in a steamer or quickly blanch in boiling water until fork tender
8. Throw the broccoli and beef back into the pan and make sure everything is fully coated in the sauce
9. Serve alongside boiled rice, noodles or on it's own and finish with a sprinkling of sesame seeds
