INSTRUCTIONS
Marinate the sirloin at room temperature in a mixture of sherry, soy sauce,
1 teaspoon of the cornstarch, the sugar, 1/2 teaspoon of the oil, the
pepper, and garlic for an hour. Heat 1 Tablespoon of the remaining oil in
a wok over high heat. Stir-fry beef quickly, until the meat is brown
outside and pink inside. Remove.
Mix the remaining 2 teaspoons cornstarch with the oyster sauce. Reheat the
wok with the remaining tablespoon oil. Add the broccoli and carrots;
stir-fry for 30 seconds.
Add the broth, cover the wok, and steam for approximately 1 minute or until
the vegetables are tender but retain their crunch. Add the corn, snow
peas, scallion, beef, and oyster sauce-cornstarch mixture. Heat quickly,
until the sauce is clear and thickened. Serve immediately over rice or
chinese noodles. Makes 4 servings.
