Beef with broccoli

Method

1. 1 Slice the beef thinly across the grain, then marinate it with cornstarch, soy sauce, and a little water for 30 minutes.
2. 2 Marinating the beef slices with cornstarch mixed with water makes them juicy; too little water will result in dry and tough slices.
3. 3 Blanch the broccoli for 90 seconds, then soak it in ice water to keep the stems crisp and green.
4. 4 Sauté the beef in a very hot pan over the highest heat for 90 seconds, then remove it from the pan.
5. 5 Sauté the garlic and ginger, then pour in the chicken broth and oyster sauce, and mix in cornstarch to thicken the sauce.
6. 6 Add the beef and broccoli to the pan and stir-fry for 30 seconds, then drizzle with sesame oil before turning off the heat.
