- Remove broccoli and reserve.
- Reheat same wok (without rinsing) and, when hot, add remaining peanut oil.
- Add beef slices and stirfry until lightly browned but not cooked through.
- Do not stirfry too vigorously or meat will not brown, it is better to press slices against sides of wok to sear.
- Add broccoli to wok and toss.
- When hot, stir in seasoning sauce and stir until sauce thickens (it's a good idea to whisk the sauce in the cup just before you hurl it into the wok).
- Turn onto a platter and drizzle sesame oil over the top.
- The sugar in the marinade and seasoning sauce acts as a floor enhancer rather than a sweetener.
- I hope you enjoy this recipe.
