Salteado de ternera con brócoli

Ingredientes

• 1 pound beef tenderloin/sirloin (- cut into thin slices)
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon pepper
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch (- for coating)
• 1 pound broccoli (- cut into florets)
• 2-3 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1 clove garlic (- minced)
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
• 1 teaspoon dry sherry (- or wine (optional))
• 1/4 cup water
• 1 teaspoon cornstarch (- for sauce thickener)
• ground black pepper

Preparación

1. 1

   In a bowl, mix together the cornstarch, salt and pepper. Add the beef slices coating each slice with the cornstarch mix.

2. 2

   Blanch the broccoli florets in boiling water for 2-3 minutes or just until they are half cooked or tender but still crisp. Remove from water and drain.

3. 3

   In a wok or saute pan, heat oil over high fire. Add beef slices and stir-fry for about 2-3 minutes. Do not overcook so the beef remains tender. Remove the beef from oil and set aside.

4. 4

   In the same oil, but over medium heat, saute garlic until slightly browned. Add the soy sauce, oyster sauce, and dry wine and let it simmer.

5. 5

   Dissolve 1 teaspoon cornstarch in 1/4 cup water. Add this to the pan and stir until sauce thickens. Add the cooked broccoli florets and beef and cook for another half a minute. Transfer to a serving plate and drizzle some oyster sauce on top.

6. 6

   Serve immediately with hot steamed rice.
