Ingredients
- 3 cups broccoli florets chopped
- 12 ounces lean flank steak trimmed
- 2 tablespoon fresh ginger minced
- 2 tablespoon dry sherry divided
- 1 teaspoon low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- ½ teaspoon salt divided
- 2 tablespoon peanut oil divided
- 2 tablespoon sriracha chili sauce
- 2 tablespoon hoisin sauce
- ½ onion chopped, thinly sliced
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, bring 4 cups of water to a boil on high heat.
- Add the broccoli to the boiling water. Wait until the water starts boiling again, which will take about 1 minute.
- Drain the broccoli using a colander and set it aside.
- Cut the beef into 2-inch-wide strips along the grain of the meat.
- Now, slice each beef strip into ¼-inch-thick pieces, cutting across the grain this time.
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine the beef, ginger, 1 tablespoon of sherry, soy sauce, cornstarch, and ¼ teaspoon of salt.
- Stir the mixture well, then add 1 teaspoon of oil to it.
- In a separate small bowl, mix sriracha sauce, hoisin sauce, and the remaining sherry.
- Heat a 14-inch flat-bottomed wok or a 12-inch skillet over high heat. You'll know it's hot enough when a drop of water on the surface evaporates in 1-2 seconds.
- Add 1 tablespoon of peanut oil to the wok, and then add the onions. Stir-fry them for 10 seconds until they smell good.
- Push the onions to the side of the wok and place the beef in the center. Spread it evenly in one layer.
- Let the beef cook for 1 minute without stirring it, so it starts to sear.
- Stir-fry the beef and onions together for another minute until the beef gets a light brown color but isn't fully cooked.
- Add the remaining 2 teaspoons of oil to the wok, along with the cooked broccoli and ¼ teaspoon of salt.
- Stir-fry the mix for 30 seconds until everything is combined well.
- Pour the sriracha mixture you made earlier into the wok.
- Keep stir-frying for another 30 seconds to 1 minute, or until the beef is cooked and the veggies are crisp but tender.
