This will serve 2-4 people and I normally make it with the Chicken and Peppers recipe when guests get your numbers up. Both are served on or with rice.

Ingredients:

1 lb sirloin steak (cut into bite size or 1-inch cubes)

1 lb broccoli

Salt

3 tbsp olive oil

3 garlic cloves crushed

3-4 slices of ginger root (you can buy crushed ginger and garlic in a jar and while not as good as fresh it is acceptable)

2 tsp sugar

2 tbsp oyster sauce

Ingredients for the marinade

2 tsp soy sauce

1 tbsp dry sherry

2 tbsp corn starch

1 tbsp olive oil

Method:

Mix together the ingredients for the marinade in a bowl, add the beef and let marinate while preparing the broccoli. Separate the broccoli into florets and thinly slice the stems. (I tend to use just the florets but it’s a personal thing.) Place in a pan of boiling water and cook for 1 minute, drain and rinse with cool water to keep it from over cooking.

Heat the olive oil in a pan. Add the garlic and ginger and sauté/stir fry for a few seconds. Add the beef and stir fry until the colour changes. Add the broccoli, sugar and oyster sauce. Stir fry for another minute or two and serve hot on rice.
