Ginger and Green Onion Beef with Broccoli

Ingredients
For the marinade
2 tablespoons soy sauce
Pinch salt
1 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon white pepper
¹⁄₂ teaspoon sesame oil
¹⁄₂ teaspoon rice vinegar
1 pound steak, cut into thin slices (I used a rump steak.)

For the stir fry sauce
1 tablespoon oyster sauce
¹⁄₂ tablespoon soy sauce
¹⁄₂ teaspoon white pepper
¹⁄₄ teaspoon sesame oil
3 tablespoons water
¹⁄₂ tablespoon cornstarch

For assembly
1 pound broccoli, cut in florets
2 tablespoons peanut, vegetable, or canola oil
3 inches ginger, cut into thin matchsticks
1 bunch green onions, cut into 1-inch pieces

Instructions
1. Combine all marinade ingredients in large container or ziptop bag.  Add steak and stir to coat. 

2. Combine all sauce ingredients in small bowl. 

3. Bring large pot of salted water to boil.  Boil broccoli for 30 seconds and drain. 

4. Heat 2 tablespoons oil in large skillet or wok over high heat.  Add ginger and green onions and cook, stirring often, until fragrant, about 30 seconds. 

5. Add meat and marinade to hot pan.  Cook, stirring, until meat has lost its redness.  Remove meat from pan and set aside on plate. 

6. Add sauce to pan and simmer until thickened.  Return broccoli and beef with accumulated juices to pan and stir until broccoli and beef is well coated with sauce.  Serve over rice or noodles. 

Comments
This recipe is from Fuss Free Cooking.  Beef with Broccoli is a dish that I love, and this turned out pretty well.  I would have liked more broccoli, perhaps a pound and a half would be better next time.  The white pepper was also a little bit overwhelming, so perhaps reducing that next time would be a good idea.  Regardless of those minor tweaks, this was scrumptious and we all enjoyed it!  I served it over cooked noodles.

The original recipe was called Ginger and Shallot Beef with Broccoli, but the pictures in that original post certainly looked like green onions to me!
