Not yo' mama's take out!
I came home from the test kitchen with 4 thin(ish) slices of beautiful roast tenderloin, and some scallions. I had broccoli in the fridge, along with some cooked rice. Time for some delicious homemade "Take Out"!
As with all stirfry, get your mise en place ready first:
I sliced about 6 scallions.
I stacked and sliced the tenderloin into thin strips.
I minced a lot of ginger and garlic.
I mixed 1T cornstarch with 1/2 C stock and a shot of soy sauce.
I blanched and shocked (in ice water) some broccoli florets.
Time to fry!
I heated some oil (not a lot) until shimmering... Added the drained, still crisp broccoli and fried for about three minutes... Added the ginger and garlic... Another minute...
Added 1/2 the scallions and then the stock mixture. Being cornstarch-based, it thickened immediately, so be watchful and be ready to add a bit of plain stock or water if need be.
Then I tossed in the beef... Just long enough to reheat it.
Tasted.
Added a splash of sesame oil... ladled it all over the hot rice... topped with more scallions and a few leaves of cilantro.
Take Out never tasted like this!
