5 Spice Beef And Broccoli Recipes

Steps:

• Boil water for rice and prepare to package directions.
• Place beef broth in a small pot over low heat to warm the liquid.
• Heat a wok shaped skillet or pan over high heat. Add oil (it will smoke) and meat bits. Stir-fry meat 3 minutes and remove from pan or move off to the side of the wok. Return pan to heat and add peppers and onions. Stir-fry veggies 2 minutes. Add meat back to the pan. Add sherry and stir fry until liquid almost evaporates about 1 minute. Add soy sauce to the pan. Dissolve cornstarch with a ladle of warm beef broth. Add beef broth to the pan, then add cornstarch combined with broth, the five-spice powder and black pepper. Stir sauce until it thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon. Adjust seasonings. Add more soy or salt if necessary. Remove stir-fry from heat. Fill dinner bowls with beef stir-fry and top with a scoop of rice. Scoop rice with ice cream scoop to get a rounded ball. By placing rice on top of stir-fry, rice will stay firm and not soak up too much sauce. Garnish with chopped scallions and smoked almonds.

Steps:

• Preheat oil in wok or large skillet over medium high heat. Meanwhile, mix sherry, soy sauce, chinese five spice powder, pepper and sugar in a measuring cup. Once sugar is dissolved, set aside 2/3 cup of the mixture. Stir the cornstarch into the remaining 1/3 cup of mixture and stir until all lumps are removed.
• Stir fry the beef until done. Once done, add the onions, garlic, celery and broccoli and stir fry for 2-3 minutes.
• Pour in the 2/3 cup reserved sherry-soy mixture, bring to a boil, and cover. Steam for 5 minutes, stirring once or twice.
• Remove the lid, stir the sherry-soy-cornstarch mixture and add to the wok. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly, and boil until the sauce has thickened. it should be thick, deep brown and glossy.
• Remove from heat and serve over jasmine rice.

Steps:

• Place the beef in a bowl with the soy, five-spice, rice wine, chilli and cornflour, and season with black pepper. Mix well so the beef is completely coated in the thick paste and leave to marinate for at least 10 mins but 30 mins is better.
• Heat 2 tbsp of oil in a wok until very hot. Add the beef to the wok, but do not overcrowd the pan - the beef needs to be in a single layer. If necessary, cook the beef in batches. Fry the beef vigorously for about 3 mins until brown and crisp and scoop onto a plate.
• When all the beef is cooked give the wok a quick wipe out. Heat the remaining oil and stir fry the peppers and broccoli for a minute then pour over the stock and add the oyster sauce. Simmer everything together for 1 min then add the beef to the wok and boil briefly to thicken the sauce then serve straight away with rice or noodles.
