Beef and Broccoli in Oyster Sauce

Beef and Broccoli in Oyster Sauce is a classic example of one of my “I am too lazy to cook” recipes! Must have got it from my mum as I do recall her making this regularly when we were kids!

A very quick and easy recipe, the exact ratio of broccoli to beef is really up to taste. Increase or decrease as you fancy. If you get your butcher to slice the beef for you, you’ll be saving even more time when cooking it.

The cut of beef used is very important; because we are just flash frying here, very quickly, so we need tender cuts of beef that require minimum cooking. Tender cuts come from the middle – the rib and loin – as these are support muscles that have less connective tissue because they get less exercise.

Type of Beef Cuts

Sirloin – lean and boneless, great for all quick cooking, my favourite

Rib Eye – probably with the most flavour but fattier

Fillet Steaks – very lean and tender

Rump Steaks – firmer but full of flavour

Feather Steaks – taken from the blade, not as well known and are relatively inexpensive. I quite like these, you get flavour without the price tag

Oh, and I love lots of ginger in this!

Shall we get our aprons on?

Ingredients

  • 2 thin steaks of beef  about 200g, sliced thinly
  • 150 g broccoli chopped into bite size pieces
  • 2 cloves garlic chopped widthwise
  • 5 cm ginger julienned (cut in thin strips)
  • 2 Tbsp oyster sauce
  • tsp light soy sauce to taste
  • 1 tsp dark soy sauce
  • ½ Tbsp rice wine vinegar or ordinary white

Instructions

  • Heat the oil in a room frying pan or wok on medium high heat.

  • Add the beef slices, mixing it all up thoroughly to coat.
