Photo: Stir-Fried Beef and Broccoli Recipe
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons minced garlic
- 4 teaspoons grated ginger
- 4 teaspoons Chinese black vinegar
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 3 teaspoons hoisin sauce
- 3 teaspoons orange blossom honey
- 4 tablespoons peanut oil, divided
- 2 pounds beef flap steak, thinly sliced across the grain*
- 4 tablespoons cornstarch
- 2 large heads broccoli, cut into florets and blanched
- 1 1/2 teaspoons red pepper flakes
- Steamed white rice, for serving
Directions
Combine the garlic, ginger, vinegar, soy sauce, hoisin sauce and honey. Mix well and set aside until ready to use. Preheat a wok or a large skillet. Once it has reached a medium heat, add 1/2 of the peanut oil. Dredge the beef in the cornstarch, lightly shake off any excess cornstarch and add 1/2 of the beef to the pan. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes. Add 1/2 of the broccoli to the pan and shake frequently.
Add 1/2 of the sauce and stir to evenly coat the beef and broccoli. Cook until the sauce thickens about 5 minutes. Repeat the process with the other half of the ingredients. Serve immediately with steamed white rice.
*It will be easier to slice the beef in thin strips if it has been partially frozen.
Chef's Note: this may be able to be done in 1 batch if using a very large wok or skillet.

Easy, healthful, and delicious. I omitted the cornstarch and used different vegetables ( zucchini, red pepper, squash, and a green pepperbut it still came out great. I'll be using the sauce recipe in the future for chicken also

Great flavors! - could not find black vinegar so used white vinegar + more soy sauce. Also used coconut oil but would have preferred peanut for that extra flavor. Was iffy on the cornstarch and only used it on half the meat but it made the sauce a great consistency. Looking forward to the leftovers tonight.

Scrumptious! Easy to cook and ready in minutes.I did not have the Chinese black vinegar so I substituted with a seasoning from Maggi ( a black liquid that you can find in the ethnic food aisle in the Germany"s section. So good that there were no leftovers :(
