Beef with Broccoli - the ultimate recipe

[politicat]

I have triumphed! I have figured out the secret to restaurant style beef with broccoli sauce and I am happy!

8 ounces thinly sliced sirloin or round (tenderize with a fork or mallet if round)
1/2 onion, sliced thin
1 c. sliced mushrooms
1/2 c. sliced baby sweet peppers (costco product)
2 cups broccoli florets (Costco)
1/4 c. tamari or soy sauce (use a good one - it counts)
3 T. corn starch
1-1.5 cups water.
1 T. honey
1/4 tsp mashed fresh ginger
1/2 tsp mashed fresh garlic
1 T. black bean paste
1/2 tsp anchovy paste
1/2 T. sesame oil (for the wok)
rice or noodles, to serve. (I prefer Noritake rice; DH prefers either ramen noodles or udon.)

Mix the soy sauce, honey, black bean paste and anchovy paste in a 1 cup glass measuring cup. Add water to equal 1 cup, and mix in the cornstarch. Set aside.

Heat sesame oil in wok, then add the beef, the mushrooms and the onions. Stirfry until the beef starts to weep, then add the peppers. When beef hits medium, add the broccoli. Stirfry until the beef is medium well, then add up to a half-cup of water, cover the wok and steam for 3-4 minutes. Remove lid, and pour in the soy sauce mixture. Stir until thickened, then serve over noodles or rice.

3. Correction:

The mashed garlic and mashed ginger go in with the sesame oil. Sorry about that.
