Beef & Broccoli

 There was some playing with proportions but this was deeeeelicious and will try again. Beef & Broccoli Marinade 1.5 lbs steak, sliced thin (we used ribeye, can use flank) 1 tbsp cornstarch 1/2 tsp baking soda 1 tbsp oyster sauce 1 tsp soy sauce 1 tsp oil 1 tsp ginger 1 tsp garlic Sauce 1 cup chicken or beef broth 2 tbsp soy sauce 1 tbsp oyster sauce 1 tsp dark soy sauce 1 tsp sesame oil 2 tbsp brown sugar White pepper In the Pan 1 tsp ginger 1 tsp garlic 2 tbsp Shaoxing wine Cornstarch slurry to thicken Cut your steak against the grain. We purchased the pre-sliced ribeye from Costco. Cook broccoli. We spread it out on a cookie sheet and bake in the toaster oven at 350* for 18 minutes. Mix marinade into the sliced meat and set aside for 30+ minutes (the longer the better). Prepare your sauce by whisking all sauce ingredients into a mixing bowl. Set aside. In a large skillet or wok, heat oil until very hot. Add in your marinated meat and spread out to brown. Leave it alone to br...

Chili Soy Pork

 This particular recipe started as a chicken thigh recipe. However we were making something with chicken already that week and wanted to change it up. I suggested pork, and Jeff immediately decided on pork shoulder. Now, I can't imagine it any other way. Chili Soy Pork Adapted from  here 2lbs pork shoulder, cut into bite sized pieces 1/4 cup soy sauce 2 tablespoons gochujang 2 tablespoons spicy chili sauce 1/4 cup oyster sauce 1 tablespoon garlic powder 1 cup scallions, diced Cut the pork into bite sized pieces and place in a ziplock bag or a bowl Combine soy sauce, gochujang, chili sauce, oyster sauce, garlic and scallions. Whisk together and pour over pork, coating well. Marinate at minimum 1 hour, recommend overnight. Preheat the oven to 425F. Add oil to a hot pan and sear each side of the pork for 1-2 minutes, or until browned. Remove from pan onto a cookie sheet. Cook in the oven for about 20 minutes. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and serve over rice with veggies of your cho...
