Thai Beef and Broccoli

Question

Made this Friday. Used red pepper flakes (teaspoon) and did NOT use the fish sauce (it's packed with sodium) nor did I use the sesame oil at the end (it's just not my favorite). I did add a little more oyster sauce to compensate. It is FANTASTIC.

Key is to have everything completely prepped because crap happens fast when the meat hit the wok. FYI, use high quality beef....not something like beef stew meat. I used a pound and it was perfect.

One last item: I did have to add more corn starch at the end to thicken the sauce (maybe another half teaspoon).....so have it nearby.

dl36 · Answer

I do a chinese style with both a marinade and gravy...

main ingredients

ginger

oystersauce

soy suace

oil

corn starch

I typically use london broil... so not the best, but not cheap crap... its also less fatty...

I would think tho that for a real thai taste you gotta use the fish sauce...

Olive oil, Wok pan, and just add beef, then broc then anything else. Mix it all up and eat.&#xD;&#xA;Real simple.

How was that Thai beef? What made it Thai?

FriedShrimp · Answer

If got an extra couple minutes, can pound the meat to tenderize it &#xD;&#xA;A little chicken broth in the broth always works too.

Stiln · Answer

Oyster sauce, that;s some good stuff.

Hutch you got Wok Oil...? It's really amazing for pan frying thin been and chicken. It's chinese cooking oil with garlic, ginger and bunch of other spices mixed into it..

I suppose including the recipe would be a good thing.

depeche-

I used a New York strip sliced thin. I also made it with chicken this week (used chicken tenders).

KQC-

That's the name of the recipe.

It's just a general stir fry.

Stiln-

I have not, but I will look for it. I am such a huge fan of fresh ginger and garlic....that's normally enough for me.

I added mushrooms when I made it this week. Gonna probably add carrots next time around.

This is pretty darn low fat and not TOO bad sodium wise if you don't over-portion.

HutchEmAll · Answer

Also, I jacked up the garlic to about 6 cloves minced. You can monkey with that and the ginger depending on your taste.  Make this.  You will not be disappointed.

HutchEmAll · Answer

And mince the ginger....don&#x27;t leave it in "match stick" like pieces.....they are too big and overpower things if you leave &#x27;em like that.

Stiln · Answer

Yeah beef and broccoli is phenomenal I make it all the time a more chinese version but I use that work oil to cook the beef its really incredible stuff.

Here's my recipe:
½ cup of WOK COOKING OIL!!!!!!!
3-4 big cloves garlic, chopped
3 heads Broccoli, chopped
Freshly ground black pepper

Sauce:

1 tbsp soy sauce

1 scant tbsp fish sauce

3 tbsp oyster sauce

1 tsp sesame oil

Mix sauces and sesame oil, add meat. Marinate for a couple hours, or overnight in the fridge.

Also, a tablespoon or two of Sriracha is awesome in the sauce if you like some heat.

Almost forgot...1 pound thinly sliced flank steak  I have also used new york strip with awesome results
