Ingredients for Beef And Scallops

  • 1 tablespoon peanut oil
  • Garlic Clove
  • Flank Steak
  • Broccoli
  • Sea Scallops
  • Scallion
  • 1/4 cup water
  • Light Soy Sauce
  • 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • Ground Ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (or more, to taste)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon white pepper

How to Make Beef And Scallops

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon peanut oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat until almost smoking.
  2. Add 2 cloves minced garlic, 1 pound thinly sliced beef sirloin, and 1 cup broccoli florets. Stir-fry for 1-2 minutes, until beef is browned.
  3. Add 1 pound sea scallops (patted dry), 2 scallions (thinly sliced), and stir-fry for another 1-2 minutes, until scallops are opaque.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup water, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce, 1 teaspoon sugar, 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger, 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (or more, to taste), 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon white pepper.
  5. Pour the sauce over the beef and scallops. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes, or until the sauce thickens slightly and the broccoli is crisp-tender.
  6. Serve immediately over hot cooked rice or noodles. Garnish with extra scallions, if desired.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
