Beef and Broccoli with Oyster Sauce
This beef-and-broccoli stir-fry features a rich Asian-inspired sauce made from store-bought oyster sauce, dry sherry, soy sauce, sugar, and cornstarch.
How to Make It
Step 1
Combine first 6 ingredients; stir until well-blended, and set aside.
Step 2
Trim fat from steak. Cut steak diagonally across the grain into 1-inch-thick slices. Cut slices into thin strips. Combine steak, 1 tablespoon cornstarch, 2 tablespoons water, 1 tablespoon soy sauce, and 2 teaspoons sugar in a medium bowl; stir until well-blended. Cover and marinate in refrigerator 15 minutes.
Step 3
Heat 2 teaspoons oil in a wok or large nonstick skillet over high heat. Add steak mixture; stir-fry 2 minutes. Remove steak from pan; set aside. Add remaining 1 teaspoon oil, green onions, and gingerroot; stir-fry over medium-high heat 30 seconds. Stir in broccoli and 1/4 cup water; cover and cook 3 minutes. Return steak to pan, and stir in oyster sauce mixture; stir-fry 2 minutes or until thick and bubbly. Serve over rice.

This is really good...I have a lot of trouble limiting myself to one serving! It's also good with chicken breast in place of beef. Changes nutrition info, though. I often increase the ginger and the oyster sauce slightly because I use more of the vegetables called for. A generous half cup of green onions and a pound and a half of broccoli gives you a bigger serving size without too many more calories.

Simple, great basic recipe that can be adapted to what is in your pantry. I added canned chopped water chestnuts, shitake mushrooms and a bit of shredded carrots, chopped red pepper. Didn't have fresh ginger, so used roasted ginger McCormick. Just wonderful and so very quick!

Very delicious!! Easy to do, though the teaspoon/tablespoon caught me being a foreigner :)

This recipe is way good! I've tried lots of beef & broccoli stir fries, but this one is by far the best. The only thing I did differently was to add some sliced mini-carrots in with the broccoli at steaming. My husband went nuts for this. I know I'll be making this again.

Wow, this meal is incredible! I used filet mignon - a very lean and tender cut of meat. It melted in the mouth. We will make this again and again...
Love it :)
