1. Marinate the Beef
In a bowl, combine the soy sauce, brown sugar, cooking wine, and cornstarch. Stir until the sugar dissolves. Add the sliced beef to the mixture and let it marinate for at least 10 minutes. This process not only tenderizes the beef but also allows it to absorb the flavors of the sauce.
2. Cook the Beef
Heat 2 tablespoons of avocado oil in a wok or large pan over high heat. Mix the beef well and drain from the marinade, reserving the sauce for later, and add it to the hot pan. Cook the beef until it's just cooked through, about 2-3 minutes. Transfer the cooked beef to a plate.
3. Cook the Vegetables
Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of avocado oil to the pan. Add the broccoli and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until bright green and slightly tender. Add the garlic, ginger and half the sliced scallions and cook for an additional minute.
4. Finishing Ingredients
Lower the heat to medium, return the cooked beef to the pan, and pour over the reserved sauce. Let the sauce come to a boil and continue to stir the mixture for 30 seconds. This allows the sauce to thicken and coat every piece of beef and broccoli. Taste the stir fry and adjust the seasoning if needed then serve.
Marinate with soy sauce, Shaoxing wine, sugar, sesame oil, and cornstarch for at least 30 minutes.
Use a wok or a large, heavy skillet that retains heat well for quick searing.
Opt for a tender cut like flank steak, sirloin, or tenderloin.
Balance the sauce with soy sauce, oyster sauce, sugar, and chicken stock or water.
Blanch in salted boiling water for 30 seconds to a minute, then shock in ice water.
