Ingredients

  • 1-2 lbs beef cut into thin slices
  • 6 cups  cut broccoli

Gravy:

  • 2 ½ cups water
  • 3 tbsp cornstarch
  • cup soy sauce

Marinade:

  • 2 tbsp cornstarch
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 2 tsp sugar
  • 2 tsp ginger
  • 2 cloves garlic

Instructions

  • Marinade: In a medium size bowl, combine the cornstarch, soy sauce, sugar, ginger and garlic. Stir well to combine and then add the beef to the bowl and put in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
  • Gravy: Near the end of the 30 minutes that the meat has marinated, get the gravy mixture ready. In a small bowl, combine and whisk the water, cornstarch, and soy sauce. Set aside.
  • Cook: In a large frying pan, heat about 1tablespoon of oil and then add the marinated beef. Proceed to sear the meat for2 minutes. Next, flip the steak over and add in the broccoli and cook for another 3 minutes. Then flip the steak again, and cook another 3 minutes.
  • Then, add the gravy mixture and slowly bring to a boil. The mixture will thicken as you cook it for another 5minutes. If you have a meat thermometer, check the internal temperature for the beef. For medium done the internal temperature should be between 140-150 degrees. For more well done, the internal temperature would be 150-165 degrees.
  • Proceed to slice the beef into thin strips, add some hot rice or ramen noodles as you see fit, serve immediately and enjoy!
