Weeknight Ginger Garlic Beef & Broccoli
Have you ever made a dish and you are just like, damn, that hit the spot and it was shockingly easy too. Well that happened to me with this beef and broccoli dish.
Ingredients
Beef & Broccoli
1 Steak of your choice
Sprinkle of Salt
2 to 3 Garlic cloves
1-inch knob of Ginger
Thai Chili Flake (or Cayenne Powder)
Soy Sauce or Maggi Seasoning
15 g (1 tbsp) Vegetable Oil
1 head of Broccoli
Splash of water
Serve with
Leftover White Rice
Pickled Onions
Black Sesame Seeds
Thai Chili Flakes (or Cayenne Powder)
Instructions
(Optional) Place the steak in the freezer for 1 to 2 hours before cooking. Cook rice to serve it with.
Using a sharp knife, slice the steak as thin as possible and toss it into a bowl.
Using a grater, grate the garlic cloves and ginger. Add to the bowl along with the chili flake, a pour of soy sauce, and half of the vegetable oil. Mix together with your hands.
Chop the broccoli into pieces for stir-frying.
Pour the remaining oil into a wok and set over high heat. Once just starting to smoke, add the seasoned beef and stir fry for 1-2 minutes until cooked through. Remove and set aside.
Add a little soy sauce and water to the wok. Scrape the fond from the bottom of the pan and then add the broccoli. Let cook until the water evaporates, then set aside. The broccoli should still be a bit crunchy.
To serve, place rice down along a sprinkle of sesame seeds. Add the broccoli followed by the beef, some pickled onions and lastly another sprinkle of the chili flakes. Devour.
