*Broccoli Beef! Just like the restaurant!*
## Ingredients
### Marinade
- Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon granulated sugar
- 1/2 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 3 tablespoons water
- 1/2 teaspoon sodium bicarbonate
- 1 1/2 tablespoons corn starch
- 1 tablespoon rice wine
- 1 tablespoon finely diced ginger
### Cornflour Slurry
- 1 tablespoon cornflour
- 5 tablespoons water
## Instructions
1. Chop the **beef** into thin, long, bite-sized strips. Place in a bowl that can hold the beef and the rest of the marinade.
2. Add a pinch of **salt**, **sugar**, **vegetable oil**, **sodium bicarbonate**, **corn starch**, **rice wine**, and **ginger** to the bowl with the beef.
3. Give the marinade a good mix and leave in the fridge for at least 60 minutes.
4. Chop the **broccoli** into manageable pieces and bring a pot of **salted water** to a boil.
5. Blanch the broccoli quickly and drain it from the water. Don't leave it too long or you'll lose the crunch.
6. Put **vegetable oil** into a wok over high heat.
7. Add the **garlic** and **ginger** and immediately add in the **beef** before they burn.
8. Layer the beef in a single layer and sear to develop a crust. Then stir fry until golden brown.
9. Add **broccoli** along with the **oyster sauce**. Stir through to coat.
10. Turn the heat down to low.
11. Mix the **cornflour slurry ingredients** and add it to the wok. Gradually turn the heat back to medium as you stir fry. Continue until the sauce thickens and becomes translucent.
## Notes
### Substitute
- Replace rice wine with dry sherry if not available.
### Healthy Era
- Use more broccoli than you think you need!
