Beef with Broccoli

The secret to this popular restaurant dish is marinating the beef in a bit of oil.   Serves 3 to 4  Ingredients:        3/4 lb (375 g) lean beef, sliced thinly into bite-sized pieces  Marinade for Beef:            1 egg         1/3 tsp salt           1 Tb cooking wine           1 Tb cornstarch           2 Tb water     1 1/2 Tb oil     1 1/2  lb broccoli, flowerets removed, slice on the diagonal               into thin slices           1 cup cooking oil      2 1/2 Tb oyster sauce           2 Tb light soy sauce        3/4 Tb dark soy sauce           1 Tb sugar        3-4 drops sesame oil           2 cloves garlic, crushed        1/2 cup chicken broth           2 Tb cornstarch (if desired)   Directions: Slice beef and mix together marinade ingredients.  Add marinade to beef and marinate for thirty minutes.  Add 1 1/2 Tb of oil to beef, mix in thoroughly, and marinate beef for another thirty minutes. While beef is marinating, prepare the vegetables.  Heat wok and add 1 cup of oil. When oil is ready, add beef and stir-fry until it is nearly cooked. Remove beef and set aside on a plate. Drain the wok and wipe clean with a paper towel. Add 1/2 cup water to wok. Bring the water to a boil and add the broccoli. Cover and cook until broccoli is cooked through. Drain the wok.   Heat wok and add oil (about 2 Tb). Add the garlic and stir-fry for about 1 minute. Add vegetables and beef and mix together. Make a well in the middle of the wok and add the sauce ingredients. Add cornstarch, stirring to thicken. Mix sauce together with other ingredients.  Serve hot. Option: *Add carrots and onion if desired. Boil in the wok with the broccoli (you'll need to add more water).
