Beef and Broccoli may be one of the most well known Chinese-American dishes to exist. It is essentially a beef and broccoli stir-fry with a soy sauce-based sauce. The version I am sharing today is inspired by the one at PF Chang's.
In a medium bowl, combine the beef, water, cornstarch, oil, salt, and white pepper. Massage the meat for 30 seconds, then transfer it to the fridge for 40 minutes to marinate.
In a small bowl, combine all the sauce ingredients and set aside.
Bring a large pot of water to boil. Blanch the broccoli for 30 seconds, then immediately drain the water. Set aside.
Heat your wok over high heat until it is lightly smoking, then add 2 tablespoons of oil. Add the beef in a single layer and sear each side for 1 minute until golden brown. Remove the beef to a bowl.
Reduce the heat to medium and add another tablespoon of oil. Add the garlic and ginger and cook for about 30 seconds. Add the Shaoxing wine and let it sizzle for 15 seconds.
Add the sauce mixture and bring to a boil. Add the cooked beef and broccoli and stir until everything is coated. Garnish with green onions and serve immediately.
