Beef with Chinese Broccoli

written by Emma Tang

Beef with Chinese Broccoli FeatureToday I am going to share the recipe for a beef with Chinese broccoli stir fry. It’s tasty, easy to make and you can replace Chinese broccoli with a different kind of vegetable such as broccoli, collard greens or kale.

I like it because it’s very versatile and I can make this dish for Bryan and I, any day of the week in less than 30 minutes.

To get the ingredients ready, I cut the beef sirloin steak into bite-size pieces, rinsed the Chinese broccoli and minced the garlic and ginger.

Beef with Chinese Broccoli IngredientsMarinating slices of meat before cooking is a really helpful technique when it comes to make a stir fry. It helps the meat to absorb additional flavor and the end product is much more tender and moist. 

I used cooking wine, water, potato starch and salt to marinate the beef in this recipe for five minutes. Next, I blanched the Chinese broccoli and placed them on a plate.

Blanching The VegetableBesides marinating, another tip for making tender meat is to not overcook them.

Take this recipe for an example, I stir fried the beef for only 1-2 minutes at first. Once it’s no longer pink, I transfer them to a plate. Later after I sautéed the ginger and garlic, I’ll add the beef back into the pan.

Stir fry the beefFor flavoring the beef, I used a combination of oyster sauce, dark soy sauce, water and black pepper.

Oyster sauce is a common Asian condiment frequently used in stir-fries to help enhance the flavor. Dark soy sauce is thicker and richer but lighter in taste than soy sauce. When I want to add color to the dish, I usually go with dark soy sauce.

Cooking Beef with Garlic SauceI like to serve this dish with rice and a bowl of soup. This is my idea of a tasty and balanced meal.
