STIR FRIED BEEF & BROCCOLI WITH OYSTER SAUCE

Category: Beef

1 1/2 lbs beef sirloin tip, thinly sliced
1 egg white
1/4 cup rice wine
1 tbsp plus 1 tsp dark soy sauce
2 tsp cornstarch
1 tsp baking soda
5-6 cups small broccoli florets, about 3/4 lb
1/2 cup water
2 tbsp oyster sauce
2 tsp sugar
Freshly ground Pepper
2 Tbsp oil
4 cloves garlic, chopped

Place beef slices in a large food storage bag. Whisk together the egg white, rice wine, 2 tsp soy sauce. 1 tsp of the cornstarch and baking soda in a small bowl; pour over beef. Seal; turn bag to coat beef with marinade. Refrigerate 1 - 3 hours.

Heat a large saucepan of water to a boil; add broccoli. Cook 30 seconds; drain and set aside. Mix remaining tsp cornstarch, 1/2 cup water, oyster sauce, remaining 2 tsp soy sauce, sugar and pepper to taste in a bowl; set aside.

Heat wok or large skillet over high heat. Add oil; heat until very hot. Add beef in batches; stir fry until meat is lightly browned, about 2 minutes. Remove with slotted spoon to bowl. Discard all but 2 tsp of the oil; heat oil over medium-high heat. Add garlic. Cook, stirring until garlic softens, about 30 seconds.

Stir in the water-oyster sauce mixture. Add to wok, heat to a boil; cook 1 minute. Stir beef and the broccoli back into the wok. Cook to heat through, about 1 minute.
