Beef Brocolli (Stir-fry)

Original recipe was given by my highschool friend cathy imperial-beringuela (tnx cath!). Some ingredients were modified.

Marinate half kilo tenderloin beef (cut in thin round-shape)with these: 1/3 cup oyster sauce, 1teaspoon sugar, 2 teaspoon hoisin sauce, teaspoon of soy sauce, a teaspoon of cornstarch and peanut oil. Marinate for at least 30m minutes.

Prepare your wok. Saute ginger and garlic in a vegetable oil. Let it sizzle in the oil for a minute to flavor the oil, then remove and discard.Toss the brocolli in the hot oil for 5 to 7 minutes, then set aside. Add more oil to your wok then add the marinated beef. Stir for 5 minutes. Add mushrooms and brocolli and stir with the beef for 3 minutes. Enjoy your stir-fry beef brocolli!

Sprinkle with black pepper, salt and vetsin.Then add 3 tbs of vinegar, 5 tbs of soy sauce, 10 star anis, 3 laurel leaf, 1 tbs of sugar. Add a cup of water then simmer for 5 minutes.
