Do you know a good Beef and Broccoli Sauce Recipe?

Question

I don't like the powder mix they have at the grocery store. Does anyone know how to make it from scratch or semi from scratch?

Answer 1

Beef with Broccoli


Serves 4



Ingredients:
3/4 lb (375 g) lean beef, sliced thinly into bite-sized pieces



Marinade for Beef:
1 egg
1/3 tsp (1.5 mL) salt
1 Tbsp (15 mL) cooking wine
1 Tbsp (15 mL) cornstarch

2 Tbsp water

1 1/2 Tbsp (20 mL) oil




1 1/2 lb (750 g) broccoli, thin sliced on the diagonal

1/2 cup (250 mL) cooking oil
2 cloves garlic, crushed



Sauce

2 1/2 Tbsp (30 mL) oyster sauce
2 Tbsp (25 mL) light soy sauce
3/4 Tbsp (10 mL) dark soy sauce
1 Tbsp (15 mL) sugar
a few drops of sesame oil
1/2 cup (125 mL) chicken broth
2 Tbsp cornstarch (if desired)



Directions
Slice beef and mix together marinade ingredients. Add marinade to beef and marinate for thirty minutes. Add 1 1/2 tablespoons of oil to beef, mix in thoroughly, and marinate beef for another thirty minutes. While beef is marinating, prepare the vegetables.
Heat wok and add 1/2 cup of oil. When oil is ready, add beef and stir-fry until it is nearly cooked. Remove beef and set aside on a plate. Drain the wok and wipe clean with a paper towel.
Add 1/2 cup water to wok. Bring the water to a boil and add the broccoli. Cover and cook until broccoli is cooked through. Drain the wok.
Heat wok and add oil (about 2 tablespoons). Add the garlic and stir-fry for about 1 minute. Add vegetables and beef and mix together. Make a well in the middle of the wok and add the sauce ingredients. Add cornstarch, stirring to thicken. Mix sauce together with other ingredients. Serve hot.



Variations
*Add carrots and onion if desired. Boil in the wok with the broccoli (you'll need to add more water).

Answer 2

I would sy the above recipe sounds good except with soy sauce instead of sherry. Maybe 1/2 soy sauce and 1/2 beef broth with cornstarch as a thickener.
