Directions
- In a medium bowl, combine marinade ingredients together until arrowroot is dissolved. Place meat in marinade and stir to coat. Let meat marinate at room temperature for 30-60 minutes.
- Place all sauce ingredients in a small bowl and combine until arrowroot is dissolved. Set aside.
- Bring two inches of salted water to a boil in a wok and add broccoli. Cover and steam until crisp and tender, about 2 minutes. Drain and set aside.
- Heat the wok over medium-high heat. Drain meat in a colander. Add peanut oil to the wok. Add ½ of meat to wok, allow to cook for 1 minute or until brown. Turn beef over and cook for another 30 seconds then set aside on a plate. Repeat steps with remaining meat adding more oil if needed. Set meat aside.
- In the same wok, add the ginger, scallion and garlic and stir-fry until fragrant, about 1 minute.
- Add the sauce and reserved meat back to the wok. Bring the sauce to a boil and cook until thickened, about 2 minutes. Mix in the broccoli and stir to coat with the sauce.
