Carlos is not a big fan of my Malaysian food so if I am cooking Chinese at home I have to create something simple that he will eat. I will usually cook some quick stir-fry of vegetables like French beans, broccoli, red and yellow peppers with either beef or chicken like this dish. This is another popular dish at the Chinese take out place here. A stir-fry is absolutely wonderful to go with rice. I just love the way the broccoli soaks up all the flavors of the sauce and the thinly cut beef are so tender and flavorful.
Ingredients:
1/2 pound of beef tenderloin or flank steak , sliced thinly into bite-sized pieces
1 pound of broccoli - cut small
1/2 red pepper - cut into bite size pieces
1/2 yellow pepper - cut into bite size pieces
1 small onion - cut into bit size pieces
1 cloves of garlic - chopped
1 tbsp of chopped ginger
Marinade for Beef:
2 tbsp of soy sauce
1 tbsp of cooking wine
1 tbsp cornstarch
1 tbsp of oil
For Sauce :
2 tbsp oyster sauce
2 tbsp light soy sauce
1 tsp sugar
1/2 tsp of pepper
1 cup of chicken stock (more or less depend on how much sauce you like)
1 tsp of cornstarch
1. Marinade sliced beef for thirty minutes. Mix all the sauce ingredients and set aside.
2. Heat pan with about 2 tbsp of olive oil. When oil is hot, add beef and stir-fry until it is nearly cooked. Remove beef and set aside.
3. In the same pan, heat up 1 tbsp of olive oil, stir fry garlic, ginger and onions until fragrant and lightly brown.
4. Add in the peppers and broccoli and stir fry for a minute. Add in the sauce and bring it up to a boil. Cook until the broccoli and peppers is cooked but still crunchy.
5. Lastly add in the beef, stir-fry for a few second or until sauce thicken and everything is well mixed. Check seasoning. Dish out and serve with warm rice.
I'm submitting this dish to Weekend Wokking , a world-wide food blogging event created by Wandering Chopsticks to celebrate the multiple ways we can cook one ingredient. The host this month is Noobcook and this month secret ingredient is Broccoli. Do check out her blog on the 3rd of December 2008 for the round-up.

I love the combination of beef, broccoli and peppers. This dish looks so delicious and colourful. Thanks for sharing with ww =)
Can't go wrong with beef and broccoli. It's always a classic combo. Too bad Carlos doesn't like Malaysian food. Is the belacan is too strong for him?
Beef & broccoli is always a good combination! The beef looks so tender and juicy!
