Stir-Fried Chile Beef & Broccoli
Rating: 4.43 stars
This quick stir-fry features broccoli and flank steak in a flavorful sauce. This dish is typical of many traditional Chinese stir-fries--the sauce just clings to the beef and vegetables but is not enough to spoon over rice. Marinating beef is essential for ensuring the meat is flavorful. The meat does not marinate overnight, as in traditional Western recipes. The moment the beef is combined with the seasonings it is ready to be stir-fried.

Stir-Fried Chile Beef & Broccoli

Ingredients

Ingredient Checklist

Directions

Instructions Checklist
  • Steam broccoli over an inch of boiling water in a large saucepan fitted with a steamer basket until bright green, about 1 minute. Transfer to a colander to drain.

  • Cut steak with the grain lengthwise into 2-inch-wide pieces. Cut each strip across the grain into 1/4-inch-thick slices. Combine the steak, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, 2 teaspoons rice wine (or sherry), cornstarch, salt and pepper in a medium bowl. Stir to combine. Mix hoisin sauce, chile sauce and the remaining 1 tablespoon rice wine (or sherry) in a small bowl.

  • Heat a 14-inch flat-bottomed wok over high heat until a bead of water vaporizes within 1 to 2 seconds of contact. Swirl in 1 tablespoon oil. Carefully add the beef in one layer. Cook undisturbed for 1 minute, letting it begin to sear. Then, stir-fry until lightly browned but not quite cooked through, about 1 minute. Transfer to a plate.

  • Swirl the remaining 1 tablespoon oil into the wok, add onion and cook until just translucent, about 30 seconds. Add the broccoli and stir until just combined, about 15 seconds. Return the beef and any juice to the wok. Stir the hoisin sauce mixture again and swirl it into the wok. Stir-fry until the beef is just cooked through, about 1 minute. Season with more chile sauce, if desired.

Tips

Notes:
Shao Hsing (or Shaoxing) is a seasoned rice wine. It is available at most Asian specialty markets and in the Asian section of some larger supermarkets. If unavailable, dry sherry is the best substitute.

Tips

Hoisin sauce is a thick, dark brown, spicy-sweet sauce made from soybeans and a complex mix of spices. Look for it in the Asian section of your supermarket.

Tips

People with celiac disease or gluten-sensitivity should use soy sauces that are labeled "gluten-free," as soy sauce may contain wheat or other gluten-containing sweeteners and flavors.
