This recipe is all in the prep!
So go ahead and slice your onion and garlic and get that broccoli into mouth-friendly florets. You should have this meal cooked inside twenty minutes—I fucking promise, man.
Get two bowls; put one bowl in one place and the other in another. In first bowl add 2 tablespoons cornstarch and then three tablespoons water, whisk until you got a runny paste in there. Add the beef and a pinch of salt, mix and coat.
You’re making sauce in the other bowl, so get that bowl, add 1 tablespoon cornstarch, your soy sauce, your brown sugar, ground ginger, and your garlic. Stir. Stir. Stir motherfucker, stir!
Heat a large pan over medium-high and put a tablespoon of canola (or vegetable) oil in there, get that guy smoking, add the beef and cook it until it’s ALMOST cooked through (four minutes or so—you want it looking a touch crisp); remove beef from pan, put it on a plate or something.
Revive that pan with a slight glug of oil and add your broccoli—keep in mind we want that stuff crispy2 so we’re not cooking it for long—stir and then add that sliced white onion, give it a minute and then put the beef back in there, add the sauce, stir, stir, stir—in less than a minute you got yourself something they make in those Chinese food restaurants they got all over town.
Garnish with sesame seeds and serve with rice.
There’s so much sugar and salt in this dish probably you could use cardboard
