How to Make Beef N Broccoli Done Right
- **Marinate the Beef (5 min):** In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp rice vinegar, 1 tbsp potato starch, and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Add 1 lb beef strips and gently toss to coat.
- **Marinate (10 min):** Let the beef marinate for at least 10 minutes (longer is better!).
- **Blanch Broccoli (3 min):** Steam or blanch 1 lb broccoli florets until bright green and crisp-tender (about 3 minutes). Set aside.
- **Prep the Wok/Pan:** Heat a large wok or frying pan over high heat until a drop of water evaporates instantly.
- **Add Oil & Beef (5 min):** Add 2 tbsp cooking oil (vegetable or canola) to the hot pan. Add the marinated beef, spreading it out in a single layer. Sear for 1 minute per side until browned.
- **Add Garlic (1 min):** Add 2 cloves minced garlic and cook for 30-60 seconds until fragrant.
- **Pour Sauce (2 min):** In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup soy sauce, 2 tbsp rice wine vinegar, 1 tbsp brown sugar, 1 tbsp oyster sauce, and 1 tbsp cornstarch with 2 tbsp water until smooth. Pour the sauce over the beef.
- **Combine & Cook (2 min):** Add the blanched broccoli to the wok. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly.
- **Thicken (30 sec):** Cook for another 30 seconds, or until the sauce thickens slightly.
- **Serve:** Serve immediately over steamed rice. Garnish with sesame seeds (optional).
