Beef And Broccoli

• 8 medium dried black mushrooms
• 1 lb beef flank steak (or skirt steak)
• 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 1 tablespoon salt
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce (light or dark)
• 1/8 teaspoon white pepper
• 1 1/2 lbs broccoli
• 2 green onions or 2 scallions
• 1/2 cup chicken broth (or cold water)
• 1/4 cup oyster sauce (you can just use soy sauce)
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch
• 4 chopped garlic cloves
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup chicken broth

1. Soak mushrooms in warm water until soft, about 30 minutes. Drain. Rinse in warm water, drain. Remove and discard stems. Cut caps into 1/2 inch pieces.
2. Trim fat from beef. Cut grain-wise into 2 inch strips. Cut the strips across the grain into 1/8 inch strips.
3. Toss the strips with: 3 T vegetable oil, 1 T cornstarch, 1 T salt, 1 T sugar, 1 T soy sauce, and 1/4 tsp white pepper in plastic or glass bowl. Cover and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes.
4. Cut broccoli into 1 inch pieces. Steam broccoli. Cook to al dente. When done, rinse under cold water and drain. Set aside.
5. Cut green onions into 1/4 inch rings. Mix together in a bowl green onions, 1/2 cup chicken broth, 1/4 cup oyster (or soy) sauce, and 2 tablespoons cornstarch. Set aside.
6. Heat wok until 1 or 2 drops of water bubble and skitter when sprinkled into wok. (Or if you're using a skillet, put on medium-high heat.) Add 2 tablespoons oil and rotate to coat wok. (Skillet-1 tablespoon and coat bottom of pan).
7. Add beef and garlic (mix the garlic with the beef first to prevent burning it). Stir-fry until beef is brown-about 3 minutes.
8. Remove beef from wok (or skillet). Set aside.
9. Add mushrooms and broccoli with 1 cup water. Cover for 5 minutes.
10. Stir in beef. Heat to steaming.
