Does anyone know how to make it? My husband loves to order that stuff, so I've been trying to figure out how to make it just right. My guess is it uses oyster sauce, a bit of soy sauce and sesame oil...?

Yakuta said:Here is how I make mine:
Broccoli - I cut mine into florets and then add them to salted boiling water for a minute and then drain and put it under cold water. This helps seal the color. I then drain and reserve it on the side.
I buy the beef thinly sliced (it says or stir frys). About 1/4 pound or so. I buy it in a pack.
I then finely mince about 3 cloves of garlic and grate 1/2 inch stick of ginger.
I make a sauce as follows:
3 tbsp of oyster sauce
2 tbsp of dark soy sauce
1 tsp of sesame oil
1 tsp of sambal or any other spicy chilli sauce
1/2 tsp of corn starch
2 tbsps of water
I stir all of these in a bowl.
I then heat up a wok or deep saute pan. I then add a tbsp of oil to it and add the ginger and garlic and saute it for a second and then immediately add the beef and stir it rigorously until the beef is no longer pink. Next I add the broccoli and the sauce and cook it on high for another few minutes.
I sprinkle some toasted sesame seeds on top of it and serve it with rice.

Cut meat across the grain into very thin slices. Place in a bowl and
combine with soy sauce, rice wine, water and cornstarch. Allow to marinate
at least 10 minutes. Meanwhile prepare remaining ingredients and stir
together sauce mixture. Heat oil in a wok or large skillet. Add meat and
cook, stirring constantly, until meat is about 75 per cent cooked. Remove
and reserve. Scrape out pan if necessary and return to heat. Add another 2
tablespoons oil if needed and heat. Add garlic, ginger and green onions and
cook 30 to 60 seconds until fragrant. Stir in cut-up broccoli and add
water. Cover and cook 3 minutes. Re-add beef to pan and combine well. Add
sauce to mixture and bring to boil. Cook until thickened and beef and
broccoli are cooked through. Serve with steamed rice.
