Instructions
- In a bowl, mix the sliced flank steak with 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of Shaoxing wine, and 1 tablespoon of cornstarch. Let it marinate for 15 minutes.
- In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tablespoons of soy sauce, 2 tablespoons of hoisin sauce, 1 tablespoon of rice vinegar, 1 tablespoon of crushed Szechuan peppercorns, 1 teaspoon of sugar, and 1/2 cup of chicken broth. In another small bowl, mix 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of water to make a slurry.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a wok or large skillet over high heat. Add the marinated beef and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until browned. Remove the beef from the wok and set aside.
- Add another tablespoon of oil to the wok. Stir in the minced garlic and ginger, and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant. Add the broccoli florets and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until tender-crisp.
- Return the beef to the wok. Pour in the prepared sauce and the cornstarch slurry. Stir-fry for another 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats the beef and broccoli.
- Add the roasted cashew nuts and sliced green onions to the wok. Toss everything together for a final 30 seconds.
- Transfer the Szechuan beef with broccoli and cashew nuts to a serving dish and serve hot with steamed rice.
