Equipment

  • 1 Large Teflon

Ingredients
  

  • 300 g beef tenderloin, thinly sliced across the grain
  • 400 g broccoli, chopped into bite-size pieces
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • Sesame seeds (if you’re feeling fancy)

Marinate the Beef

  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp oyster sauce
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tsp cornstarch + 2 tbsp water

Stir Fry Sauce

  • 1 tbsp oyster sauce
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp dark soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp honey (or just sugar)
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 1 tsp ground black pepper
  • 1 tsp cornstarch mixed with 5 tbsp water

Instructions
 

  • In a bowl, toss the beef with all the marinade stuff. Doesn’t need to be perfect—just make sure the beef gets coated. Let it sit for a while. If you’ve got 30 minutes, great. Do some chores first or play with your dog (if you have one).
  • Grab another bowl and whisk everything together. Cornstarch is your friend here—it thickens the sauce like magic.
  • Boil water. Add broccoli. Let it cook for about a minute, then drain and rinse under cold water to keep it bright and hydrated.
  • Get a pan hot, splash in some oil, and toss in the garlic. Stir quickly. Add beef, spread it out, don’t crowd it. Brown it up for a few minutes. Pour in the sauce and broccoli. Stir things around until the sauce thickens and everything is coated in that sticky goodness.
  • Spoon it over rice or slurp it up with noodles. Sprinkle sesame seeds on top if you’ve got 'em. Or not. No rules here.
