How to Make Black Pepper Beef and Broccoli
- Marinate Beef: In a medium bowl, toss thinly sliced flank steak with soy sauce, Shaoxing wine, cornstarch, and freshly cracked black pepper. Let rest for 15–20 minutes.
- Prep Broccoli: Bring a pot of salted water to a boil, then blanch broccoli florets for 2 minutes until bright green and just tender. Drain and plunge into ice water to lock in color.
- Sear Beef: Heat vegetable oil in a hot wok over high heat until shimmering. Add marinated beef in batches and stir-fry for 2–3 minutes until edges are golden brown.
- Add Aromatics: Push beef to the sides, then stir in minced garlic and grated ginger for about 30 seconds. Cook until fragrant and lightly golden.
- Simmer Sauce: Pour in oyster sauce, beef broth, and a generous crack of black pepper. Stir and let simmer for 1–2 minutes.
- Combine: Return broccoli to the wok and toss all ingredients over medium heat until the beef and veggies are evenly coated.
- Finish: Drizzle with sesame oil, give a quick toss, then remove from heat.
