Hi I'm Nicky welcome back to our kitchen where we show you how to make delicious
family-friendly recipes. This beef and broccoli is all cooked in one pan to save on the washing
up it's ready in about 20 minutes and it's super tasty. We're going to start by making the sauce,
in a bowl mix together 250 ml, which is about a cup plus two teaspoons,
of hot beef stock along with three tablespoons of light soy sauce, one tablespoon of dark soy sauce,
one tablespoon of chinese rice wine or sherry, two teaspoons of sesame oil,
three tablespoons of light brown sugar, an eighth of a teaspoon of white pepper
and an eighth of a teaspoon of black pepper.
So now that sauce is done we're going to fry off the steak. I've got about 500 grams
which is about 1.1 pounds of skirt steak here that's been sliced really thinly. A
little tip for you here is to place your steak in the freezer for about 10 to 15
minutes and that will help to firm it up so you can slice it extra thinly.
Heat two tablespoons of vegetable oil over a high heat in a wok or a large frying pan.
Add the sliced steak and cook for two to three minutes turning once or twice until the steak is
just cooked. Transfer the steak to a bowl using a slotted spoon leaving any liquid behind in the pan.
Add 450 grams which is about a pound of tender stem broccoli to the pan
and stir fry it for two minutes stirring often.
Now transfer that broccoli to the bowl with steak. We want the broccoli for this dish to
be tender but also bright green and still with a little bit of crunch, if you like your broccoli
to be softer just stir fry it for a couple of minutes longer with a splash of water.
Now turn the heat down to medium and add a tablespoon of vegetable oil to the pan, add in a
teaspoon of minced ginger and two cloves of minced garlic and fry stirring often for 30 seconds.
Add in that sauce mixture that we prepared earlier and turn up the heat to high and stir it all together.
Allow the sauce to come to the boil and then slowly pour in a cornstarch slurry,
which is about two tablespoons of flour mixed with five tablespoons of cold water.
Keep stirring it whilst you're adding the slurry until the sauce thickens. Add the beef and broccoli
back to the wok and toss it all together cooking for a further minute then turn off the heat.
Serve with boiled or fried rice and topped with a sprinkling of sesame seeds.
And there you go that's how to make a fantastic and tasty beef and broccoli,
a classic beef stir-fry that's quick and easy to make and the whole family will love.
See you next time for more delicious recipes.
