This is a rather convenient and delicious Chinese stir-fry. It comes with broccoli florets and thinly cut beef slices, sirloin or rump steak, gently blanched in hot oil and stir-fried with ginger, spring onion and garlic and well-enhanced with oyster sauce.

- Cut the beef across the grain into thin slices. Add in marinade and set aside for 20 minutes. Combine the ingredients of sauce in a bowl and set aside. Wash and drain the broccoli florets.
- Heat a large skillet with half cup of oil to 150C/300F. Add the marinated beef slices, stirring to separate, cook until the colour of beef has changed and nearly cooked. Remove the beef and drain on paper towels.
- In another skillet, heat 2 tablespoons oil until hot, add the crushed garlic, stirring briefly until aromatic. Add the broccoli florets, sprinkle the salt and chicken bouillon powder over, and cook the broccoli, for 5 minutes, until they are tender but still crunchy. Remove and arrange broccoli florets around the edge of a serving plate, leaving the stems towards the center.
- Clean the skillet and add a tablespoon of oil. Add in sliced ginger, spring onion, and garlic. Stir until aromatic. Return the beef to the skillet. Whisk the sauce to recombine, then add to the skillet, stirring quickly to thicken. Turn the heat off. Spoon the beef in the center of the serving plate. Serve immediately with steamed rice.

I seriously have never tried Oyster sauce and just bought a bottle searching for the perfect recipe...this is it! The only change will be Chicken instead of beef...perfect timing thanks so much! Fabulous recipe!!
With brocolli sure a healthy one...looks very invitng
One of my favorite dishes to order at a Chinese restaurant...I have a feeling yours is even better!
Love this! Yummy with rice!
I'll have to admit, I really have never tried my hand at homemade Asian delights. I really have no idea how hard it would be. Any tips or tricks you could pass along for beginners?? And what is Maggi sauce??
I'm bookmarking this delicious looking recipe to make this week, Angie. What a great way to use the current harvest from my garden's exuberant broccoli plants!
Though homely, I also adore how elegantly you presented this : ).
@Paul Jennette
Maggi seasoning is basically a mix of water, salt,sugar..etc. I used it here instead of light Chinese soya sauce.
Paul,if you haven't prepared any Chinese dishes at home before, I would recommend to get some bottled sauces (like those from Lee Kum Kee)to play with first, you know..they really help you to get a hang of some Chinese food.
Ah, this is one classic dish not only for us in Asia - but a staple dish in American Chinese restaurants!
I would never go out to eat if I ate at your house.
Delicious dish Angie. Looks pretty too!
I always do chicken with oyster sauce and mushroom but have not done with beef, look yumm.
What a lovely dish...it's almost too pretty to eat...almost :)
I am a big fan of oyster sauce. This dish is perfect. Yummy!
Cheers,
Rosa
Home cooked dish is the best like this lovely dish. I can eat this with extra rice.
And Angie, thank you very much for sharing the Avocado Creamcheese Cookies, my family really loved it :)
Oyster Sauce is probably one of my favourite Chinese sauces, that and black bean. The beef in your recipe looks so tender, as if it could just melt.
I love oyster sauce. This looks much like the dish I order at our local restaurant. It's my favorite. I can't wait to give this a try.

A lovely, flavorful dish, Angie! My boy would love this, too!
Mmm, this is one of my favorite Chinese dishes! Yours looks really delicious...love your pictures too!
Wow! what a healthy and delicious plate of food, I just love the Chinese flavours in it.
Very flavorful..looks awesome!
nice dish!
Looks delicious, so many great flavors in that dish!
Omg, wat a tempting dish, i would like to have some, cant wait to try soon..
Great presentation and although I don't cook broccoli often as my children don't even want to smell it, I love it. The beef also sounds delicious with ginger.
What a delicious, flavorful beef dish! I love your beautiful presentation with the broccoli and tomatoes flanking the beef, too. You're just as talented behind the lens as you are in the kitchen! Thanks for sharing, Angie. I hope you have had a great start to the week!
Great and healthy beef dish. I so want some of this delicious food!
*kisses* HH
Beef and broccoli is one of my wifes favorites! The oyster sauce adds such a nice flavor to the dish! Yours looks so very very good!
Cheers
Dennis

I don't even eat beef, and I want some of this! Very beautiful dish-I'm sending this to my Mom's e-mail. My Dad loves stuff like this...

As much as I like beef and mushrooms, I would have to dive into the broccoli florets! How healthy of me right!
Such a beautiful plate. This must be the best way to eat broccoli. I love it! Great recipe Angie!
Angie, this reminds me of a dish I ate at an amazing restaurant years ago. Oh the memories! Will try soon.
My kids love these stir-fries and making one at home would be a lot better than ordering it out; love this simple and tasty version, thanks!
This dish will look very nice on any dinner table...love the combination:)
look like the one sold at American Chinese restaurant!! great!
Mmmm....broccoli is one of my favourite vegetables! I guess substituting with pork tender loin might be pretty good too? It's my hubby don't take beef...: p thanks for the delicious recipe!
Beef and broccoli is such a quick and easy weeknight dinner! Very satisfying and delicious with the oyster sauce :)
Love this dish! Looks fabulous!
Not sure why but this dish reminds me of CNY!
Perhaps it's the way the broccoli is placed... :)
You know, this looks fresh and healthy - and it looks like it would be great with soy/wheat gluten beef. Yum!
Oyster sauce is good stuff, it really adds great flavour to stir fries. This one looks especially tasty!
This sounds like it is truly bursting with flavor from the oyster sauce and the ginger!
The marinade and the sauce with the oyster sauce must bring fantastic flavors to the beef, an excellent meal!
Beef stir-fry is delicious and I do it every now and then. I love your presentation of the dish. It looks gorgeous!
I better get my stir-fry pan out because, beef stir fry, with broccoli is one of the favorites, that I like to make, and with the addition of the oyster sauce...yummm! Delish!!!
Beautiful presentation, as always!!!
I love the simplicity of your recipe and I have a weakness for anything made with oyster sauce. Your stir-fry looks delicious. I hope you have a great day. Blessings...Mary
You have tempted me enough to get some oyster sauce soon and try out this :-)Looks wonderful
This is one of my all-time favorites. I think this is one of the first things I learned how to make when I got married. I think your recipe is a little better, next time, i'm trying it your way! Have a great weekend.

Angie, another delicious looking recipe. I've only ever used fish sauce in Asian recipes. Are the flavours similar?
This is one of my fave meals and THANKS for posting such a nice recipe Angie...a staple for sure :)
chow! Devaki@weavethousandflavors
I'm hooked on using ginger lately. It really enhances any asian dish. I've never bought oyster sauce though - I think I am missing out!
I agree. When I first saw the photo, I thought of CNY! ;p
Hi Angie! What a beautiful dish. I loved how you arranged the broccoli around the meat...what a great way to present this. Thank you for sharing your recipe and thoughts with me tonight. I hope you have a great weekend. I'm so glad Friday is almost here!
Lovely lovely lovely... perfect for the reunion dinner! Hope you're having a wonderful day.
Cheers, Kristy
the beef looks so tender and I love broccoli too, looks very tempting.
Mmm...I love this dish. I'm also cooking beef today, for lunch and dinner. But sadly I don't have broccoli. Can't believe there was no broccoli in the supermarket today. I think I went there too early this morning.
great dish, I would love this for lunch, I recently saw maggi sauce at the store..i will pick up some the next time out! thanks
