Beef Broccoli

Actually, i don't measure my ingredients and i seldom taste it while cooking. If it smells good then it is done. ^__^






Ingredients:

1/2 kilo beef tenderloin, cut into bite sizes
1 big head of broccoli, cut
20 pieces sitsaro (pea) remove the string on both sides
6 cloves of garlic, chopped
1 onion, chopped
1 small ginger, sliced or 1/2 tsp. of ginger powder
1 tbps. of rice wine, (optional)
1 tbps. oyster sauce
1 cup of 7-up, (soda)
sugar
sesame oil
1 tsp of cornstarch diluted in 1/2 cup water, (thickener)
salt and pepper, according to your taste

** you can add more veggies if you like... like carrots, string beans and bean sprouts.




Procedure:

Heat pan and add a little oil. Fry beef until brown. Set Aside.
Saute garlic until light brown then add the onions. Add beef, pepper, ginger and 7-up. Bring to a boil, reduce the liquid for about 20 minutes just be careful not to let it dry. If your beef is not yet tender add a little water. Then add the oyster sauce, rice wine, a few drops of sesame oil and sprinkle it with at least 1/2 tsp of sugar (not too much because of the 7-up.) Stir a little. Then add the broccoli and sitsaro. Reduce heat and add the cornstarch. Stir for about less than a minute. Don't over cook your veggies. Serve hot. Bon Appetit! ^__^


**I do not preboil my broccoli because it will loose it's nutrients and taste.
