BEEF AND BROCCOLI

Beef and Broccoli image

I got this recipe from my mom. It's much better than takeout, IMO, since it's not as greasy and doesn't hurt my stomach. It tastes just like it though.

Ingredients

8 medium dried black mushrooms
1 lb beef flank steak (or skirt steak)
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 tablespoon salt
1 tablespoon sugar
1 tablespoon soy sauce (light or dark)
1/8 teaspoon white pepper
1 1/2 lbs broccoli
2 green onions or 2 scallions
1/2 cup chicken broth (or cold water)
1/4 cup oyster sauce (you can just use soy sauce)
2 tablespoons cornstarch
4 chopped garlic cloves
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup chicken broth

Steps:

Soak mushrooms in warm water until soft, about 30 minutes. Drain. Rinse in warm water, drain. Remove and discard stems. Cut caps into 1/2 inch pieces.
Trim fat from beef. Cut grain-wise into 2 inch strips. Cut the strips across the grain into 1/8 inch strips.
Toss the strips with: 3 T vegetable oil, 1 T cornstarch, 1 T salt, 1 T sugar, 1 T soy sauce, and 1/4 tsp white pepper in plastic or glass bowl. Cover and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes.
Cut broccoli into 1 inch pieces. Steam broccoli. Cook to al dente. When done, rinse under cold water and drain. Set aside.
Cut green onions into 1/4 inch rings. Mix together in a bowl green onions, 1/2 cup chicken broth, 1/4 cup oyster (or soy) sauce, and 2 tablespoons cornstarch. Set aside.
Heat wok until 1 or 2 drops of water bubble and skitter when sprinkled into wok. (Or if you're using a skillet, put on medium-high heat.) Add 2 tablespoons oil and rotate to coat wok. (Skillet-1 tablespoon and coat bottom of pan).
Add beef and garlic (mix the garlic with the beef first to prevent burning it). Stir-fry until beef is brown-about 3 minutes.
Remove beef from wok (or skillet). Set aside.
Add mushrooms and broccoli with 1 cup water. Cover for 5 minutes.
Stir in beef. Heat to steaming.
Stir in Sauce Mixture. Cook and stir until thickened, about 15 seconds.
Serve over rice.
