Gai Lan (Chinese Broccoli) And Beef
- 1 -2 lb lean steak, sliced thinly into one inch long pieces. (i usually get the presliced "stir fry" steak at my grocery)
- 1 bunch gai lan (about 2-3lbs, can be found in farmers market or ethnic grocer. Its a large leafy vegetable that tast)
- 6 teaspoons fish sauce
- 6 teaspoons sesame oil
- 6 teaspoons soy sauce
- 4 -6 fresh garlic cloves, chopped finely (must be fresh, not jarred)
- Combine sauces and oil and marinate beef in them for about 30 minutes.
- It should cover all of the beef.
- If not add more in even amounts.
- Meanwhile wash gai lan well and cut into three to four inch pieces.
- (Note: seems to taste better when leaves and stalks are attached) 5-A Boil a large pot of water 5-B When water boils drop pieces of gai lan into boiling water and remove when desired softness.
- (I like mine a little crispy) Heat a frying pan or wok over medium high heat.
- When pan is hot, saute garlic in about 1 tsp of oil until just lightly browned.
- Be careful-- this will sizzle a lot.
- When garlic is browned dump in the beef with marinade and saute until done.
- Serve over steamed rice, and Chinese broccoli.
- Use remaining sauce with rice and veggie.
- NOTE: This might be too salty for some. I suggest using a lite soy sauce instead of regular to reduce the salt content some.
