But it's my favorite dish too, and NOW I learned from your recipe why it's not "watering" like the way I fix it. Haha, the sauce you make. I definitely will copy this recipe and do it the "right" way very soon. It's so wonderful to see the love between sisters. You guys are great :-)Toanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03282499967092788216noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29502985.post-21255116159190229202009-05-28T21:38:54.861-07:002009-05-28T21:38:54.861-07:00Anj Kay,

Or you can use a few teaspoons of black pepper diluted in a tablespoon of soy sauce? Any cut of beef would work. If you have a cheaper cut such as flank, just remember to slice it against the grain so it'd be easier to chew. If you're doing it for Mother's Day though, maybe Wandering Chopstickshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04703018765718062460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29502985.post-23728577350497918542009-04-27T09:39:00.000-07:002009-04-27T09:39:00.000-07:00I am hoping to make this for my mother on Mother's...I am hoping to make this for my mother on Mother's day but I have a couple questions. One, is there a cut of beef that works particularly well for this recipe? Honestly, I've never been a big red meat eater, so I am unfamiliar with popular cuts. Two, what are your thoughts on using LKK's Black Pepper Sauce in this dish? Would the pepper overpower the beef and broccoli?Anj Kayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14851490244071305823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29502985.post-28877588509983867712009-04-20T00:32:00.000-07:002009-04-20T00:32:00.000-07:00Christine,

Well, since broccoli is found in Canada as well, it's probably a North American adaptation.<br /><br />Sam,<br />My stove doesn't get hot enough for the proper wok temperature either. If you click on the link of the sauces, I have a break down of each what, flavor profiles, etc. I generally prefer oyster sauce for stir-fries because it's thickerWandering Chopstickshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04703018765718062460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29502985.post-22340201512951393282009-04-19T07:06:00.000-07:002009-04-19T07:06:00.000-07:00This dish is ALWAYS a hit in American households. ...This dish is ALWAYS a hit in American households.

Sometimes I cook the broccoli too long - other times not enough. Sometimes my beef ends up tough although I try not to overcook it.<br /><br />I noticed you've given us some choices of which sauce to use. Which do you prefer - soy, oyster, black bean or kecap manis (which I'm not familiar with)?<br />SamSam Hoffer / My Carolina Kitchenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15358601435867848753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29502985.post-32793945680685495782009-04-18T06:19:00.000-07:002009-04-18T06:19:00.000-07:00Beautiful post.
