Weekend Cooking: Ginger & Scallion Beef with Broccoli

When I pinned this recipe, I wasn't too sure Tai was going to like it. He normally dislikes stir-fries. Too many veggies. But this one only had two so I thought it was worth a shot. Luckily, he loved it. It was yummy. Tai declared it a keeper.
I made some small changes to her recipe so here's how I made it.

Ginger & Scallion Beef With Broccoli

1 lb flank steak
1/2 lb broccoli florets
2 tbs grated ginger
2 green or spring onions, cut into 1/2 pieces
2 tbs oil

4 tbs soy sauce
1 tsp honey
1 tsp sesame oil
1/2 tsp rice wine vinegar

3 tbs oyster sauce
2 tsp soy sauce
2 tsp honey
2 tsp sesame oil
3 tsp chicken broth
1/2 tbs cornstarch

Thinly slice steak. Combine 4 tbs soy sauce, 1 tsp honey, 1 tsp sesame oil, and 1/2 tsp rice wine vinegar in a bowl. Place meat in marinade and let it for a few minutes.
Heat 2 tbs oil in a pan. Added grated ginger to oil. Let ginger cook for a minute. Add beef to pan with marinade. Cook meat til brown on both sides. Add onions to the pan.

  1. I bet this was good -- ginger, soy, and oyster sauce sound like a great combo. This one is great for broccoli season, just around the corner in my part of the world.

  4. This looks great - I love stir fries but I'm not a fan of the pre-packed veg mixes, so something like this would be perfect.
