Homemade Char Siu Sauce
Steps
1
To make the char siu sauce, place all the ingredients into a medium-sized bowl and mix everything together until well incorporated and smooth. Transfer just under half of the sauce into a separate large mixing bowl and set the remaining sauce aside.
2
Add beef into marinade along with bicarb soda. Mix and coat all of the beef pieces well and set aside.
3
Bring a pot of water to the boil, and prepare a large bowl of iced water. Once the water is boiling, quickly blanch the broccoli pieces for 1 minute until ultra green, then strain and transfer into the iced water. Once chilled, drain immediately and place onto a dry cloth or paper towel.
4
Preheat a wok over high hot. Once it’s scary hot, add in 2 tbsp of the vegetable oil, then add in broccoli, spring onion and a good pinch of salt. Stir-fry the vegetables on high heat for a couple of minutes until they’re starting to get some charry bits on them. Transfer to a serving plate.
5
Heat the wok again over medium-high heat. Add the remaining vegetable oil, then place the marinated beef pieces into the wok and spread out into an even layer. Allow them to sear and brown a little for 1 minute. Flip the beef pieces around, turning them constantly around the pan, and cook for a further 2-3 minutes.
6
Add in the remaining char siu sauce reserved from earlier. Keep tossing the beef in the char siu sauce to coat all over for 2 minutes or until the sauce has thickened slightly and the beef is cooked to your liking – you want it lovely and tender, so take care not to overcook it. Spoon the beef over the stir-fried vegetables. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and serve with steamed rice.
