Instructions

Make the stir fry and marinade sauce

Mix the all the sauces in the list above together and store in the jar.
Note : You can use this sauce for almost every stir fry. Don’t worry if you feel like you may making too much. It will last in the fridge forever even when you don’t cook often.

Marinade the beef

Slice the beef thinly using the cut of your choice against the grain. Add baking soda and water to the beef and massage for a minute.
Add the half of the stir fry sauce and cornstarch. Massage the beef and let it sit to marinade at least 10 minutes.

Prepare the vegetables while the marinating the meat.

Peel and roughly chop garlic.
(optional) Use scissors to cut the big dried chilies into small pieces. The seeds should come out easily.
Wash and cut the tough ends of the broccolini . Then cut the broccolini in halves. If the stems are too long for you. Cut some of it, peel and slice them so they cook easily and not too tough. If using a crown of broccoli, cut the tough end out. Then cut/chop the broccoli into bite sizes.

Stir Fry/ Assemble

Heat the wok with medium - high heat add 1 tbsp vegetable oil. Brown the beef until it is 90%cooked. This should take about 2 minutes or so. Set it aside. Wipe or clean your wok.
Fry garlic and dried chilies until fragrant (10 seconds). Add the cooked beef back to the wok. Follow by the broccolini and 3-4 Tbsp stir fry sauce and half to one cup of water.
Stir fry until the beef is fully cooked and the broccolini gets soften a little bit.
Serve the stir fry with steamed rice and enjoy !
