Ingredients:
- 1 lb Wagyu beef, thinly sliced against the grain
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1/2 cup beef broth
- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
- 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 3 cups broccoli florets
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
- 1 spring onion, thinly sliced (for garnish)
- Sesame seeds (for garnish)
Instructions:
-
In a bowl, marinate the thinly sliced Wagyu beef with soy sauce and cornstarch. Let it sit for 15 minutes to absorb the flavors.
-
In a separate bowl, prepare the sauce by combining beef broth, oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, and sesame oil. Stir until well mixed.
-
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a wok or large frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the broccoli florets and stir-fry until they're bright green and slightly tender, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from the pan and set aside.
-
In the same pan, add the remaining tablespoon of oil. Add the garlic and ginger, stirring for about 30 seconds until aromatic.
-
Add the marinated Wagyu beef to the pan, spreading it out in a single layer. Let it sear for about 1 minute without stirring, then stir-fry for another minute or until it's nearly cooked through.
-
Pour the sauce over the beef, stirring to combine. Return the broccoli to the pan and toss everything together, ensuring the beef and broccoli are well coated in sauce.
-
Continue to cook for another 2 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened.
-
Serve your Gourmet Wagyu Beef and Broccoli Stir-Fry over steamed rice, garnished with sliced spring onions and sesame seeds.
Remember: The key to a great stir-fry is a hot pan and quick cooking. This ensures your Wagyu beef stays tender and your broccoli retains its crunch. With this recipe, you'll have a luxurious version of a beloved classic that's sure to impress. Enjoy the indulgence!
