I just made some rather authentic-tasting beef and broccoli that kicks the crap out of anything I've ever had at a restaurant...in 10 minutes. I rule.

Here's my closest approximation to a recipe that I can give:

Ingredients:
- 1 filet mignon steak, sliced (cooked)
- 1/3 cup green onion, sliced
- 2 medium head broccoli ( = 2 cups broccoli florets)
- 2 cups cooked rice

(sauce)
- 4 tbsp oyster sauce
- 2 tbsp hoisin sauce
- 1/2 tbsp cornstarch

(seasonings)
- ground white pepper
- ground ginger
- garlic powder
- mirin cooking wine
- soy sauce
- olive oil

1. Heat oil in pan, add meat and toss until heated. Season with soy sauce, ginger, garlic, pepper.
2. Add 2 tbsp mirin, toss until evaporated and meat is glazed. Put aside
3. add oil to pan, cook green onion for 30 sec.
4. Add broccoli. pour 2 tbsp water over broccoli and quickly cover
5. Add soy sauce to taste
6. Add meat, toss.
7. Add hoisin and oyster sauces, toss to coat.
8. Mix cornstarch with 1/2 cup COLD water until dissolved. Slowly add to pan, allow to come to boil and thicken.
9. When sauce is at desired consistency, remove from heat.

As a cheaper alternative, i recommend flank steak. A pretty good cut for stir fry and it's cheaper than filet mignon.

i recommend flank steak
I agree. Slice it thin against the grain and then marinate it in some soy sauce, ginger, mirin wine for about 10 minutes before cooking. YUM

Sounds good but may I suggest using a lesser cut of meat like a flank steak............ the filet mignon is the second best cut in my opinion (the tender loin being my beef of choice) and you will have a much better time eatting a nicely prepared filet migon (medium rare baby) :).

Cheers,

Well, duh, I know that flank steak works better. I just happened to have a filet in the fridge. Gotta love Costco. :D

Mirin cooking wine??? Whats that? Whats the difference with that and just regular cooking wine? I never thought of Oyster sauce on beef & broccoli though, only use it on seafood :)

Mirin is sweet rice wine.

Not terribly important. It just makes a nice glazed finish for the meat and adds a bit of sweetness. I guess a light white wine or sake could work too.
