Broccoli with Beef

From Dad Larsen.

Mix in a bowl:
1 Tablespoon cornstarch
1 Tablespoon soy sauce
1 clove garlic, minced
¾ teaspoon ground ginger
2 Tablespoons oil

Mix into the above marinade and set aside:
1-1¼ pounds steak, thinly sliced across the grain

Mix in a small bowl and set aside (gravy):
1 Tablespoon cornstarch
1 Tablespoon soy sauce
1 to 2 Tablespoons oyster-flavor sauce
½ cup water

Sauté 4 cups fresh broccoli in 3 Tablespoons oil over high heat for about 1 minute.
(Strip leaves and outer fibers from stalks and discard. Cut flowerets to get 1-inch heads and 1-inch stems. Cut stalks diagonally at a 45˚ angle, ¼ inch thick. If stalks are more than 1 inch in diameter, cut in half lengthwise first before cutting diagonally.)

Add 2 to 3 tablespoons water to broccoli. Cover to steam until barely tender. (Takes less than 5 minutes.) Remove broccoli from pan.

In 2 batches, sauté marinated meat in 2 Tablespoons oil over high heat until meat is browned on the outside and pink on the inside. Remove from pan.

Add gravy ingredients to pan, scraping bottom of pan and stirring until bubbly and slightly thickened.

Return meat and broccoli to pan until just heated, tossing to blend.

Serve over rice.
