Beef & broccoli stir-fry

Restaurant-style beef and broccoli: thin slices of beef velveted in a cornstarch marinade so they stay silky, blanched broccoli, and a glossy soy-based sauce that clings to everything.

Ingredients

  • Beef (round or chuck)400 g
  • Broccoli400 g
  • Cornstarch2 žlica
  • Soy sauce5 žlica
  • Rice vinegar1 žlica
  • Sugar1 žlica
  • Garlic3 čehova
  • Fresh ginger15 g
  • Toasted sesame oil1 žličica
  • Sunflower oil3 žlica

Instructions

  1. 1

    Slice the beef against the grain into strips half a centimetre thick. In a bowl, mix it with 1 tablespoon of cornstarch, 1 tablespoon of soy sauce and 1 tablespoon of water until every slice is coated.

  2. 2

    Let the beef rest in its marinade for 20 minutes at room temperature. This is the velveting: the starch coating protects the meat from the fierce heat.

  3. 3

    Meanwhile stir the sauce: the remaining soy sauce, rice vinegar, sugar, sesame oil, the remaining cornstarch and 100 ml of water. Cut the broccoli into florets, chop the garlic and ginger.
