Beef with Broccoli Stir Fry

With the rest of the steak tips I decided to make a stir fry. I wanted to do something with broccoli, mushrooms, and oyster sauce. It turns out someone else had the same idea. TigersandStrawberries posted a recipe for Ocean Broccoli Beef the day after I made this. Hers sounds better than mine. Mine was okay, but could have been a bit more flavorful. Here's what I did.

• 1/2 lb steak tips, sliced in to strips

Marinade in

• 1 TB dark soy sauce
• 2 TB oyster sauce
• 1/4 tsp honey
• 1 TB cornstarch
• 3 TB shao xing wine

Heat some peanut oil to smoking in a wok. Add

• 2 TB Black bean chili paste. Cook 30 sec.
  

then add the meat meat and brown for a minute. Then

• Top with 4 large cloves of garlic, sliced.

Cook another min to brown the beef, then start stir frying for a minute. Add

• 1 large onion, sliced. Stir fry 2 min.
• 1 package sliced mushrooms. Stir fry 2 min.
• Add remaining marinade and oil if necessary
• Add 3 broccoli stems (sliced), cook 1 min
• Add broccoli florets from 3 stalks. Stir to coat.
• Add 2/3 c chicken broth.
• Cook until broccoli is done
• Top with 1/2 tsp toasted sesame oil.

Served it with some jasmine rice. Tasty, though I think I'd enjoy it with more spice. Hubby found it unexceptional, however. Next time I'll try the linked recipe.
