- Add remaining oil to pan.
- Add half the beef to hot pan and stir-fry 2-3 minutes (until brown). Remove beef and stir-fry remaining meat. Return all meat to pan.
- Stir marinade a little and pour into skillet or wok. Cook and stir until thickened and bubbly. Stir in the vegies. Cover and cook 1 minute.
- Serve over hot rice.

YUM! Very good and spice can be adjusted for taste. (We inevitably added more red pepper as crazy Koreans!). Two tips: 1) We decreased the amt of sesame oil as we used the DARK asian kind (about half). 2) I par-steamed the broccoli before adding it to the stirfry so the other veggies would remain crisp. 3) I doubled the sauce to cover the veggies more, and it was great over rice/noodles!

Wonderful dish! Very yummy. Yes, like the recipe says, double the marinade. However, if you do not double the beef, I would suggest not doubling the soy sauce that goes into the marinade. A cup is a little too much for the 1/2 lb of beef, and while it was delicious it was very salty. A little too salty for some who tried it. Otherwise, this is a great dish , and I would definitely recommend it!

Made for a very enjoyable meal, though I did fiddle with quantities using 2lb 12oz sliced rump steak and doubled the sauce but used about 2 cups of water with 2 tablespoons cornflour/cornstarch. Used the quantities of vegies specified and served with fried rice (done our way). The DH was doing the cooking (I did all the prep) and he chose to stir fry the vegetables first and heated up the sauce for thickening (hence adding more liquid for it was very thick) and then added the meat and stir fried vegetables (included snow peas) and made for a delicious meal and the DH has left overs for night shifts. The only change we would suggest is that instead of dried red pepper flakes to use fresh chilli- just personal taste. Thank you mikekey for a delicious meal, made the Potluck Tag. UPDATE - we have now made this recipe several times and has become a requested recipe but admit that there are always some minor changes depending on what vegies are in season when we make but otherwise what I have already added using fresh chillies and adding ginger this is one really good recipe.

Fantastic; loved by adults and kids; even our rice hating daughter ate quite a bit. We actually joked that we should add a picture of the empty plate with the kids giving the dish a thumbs up. I did not add sesame seeds or hot red peppers (kids eating), served red pepper flakes on the side instead. I cut back the sesame oil to 2 tsp. For vegetables I used mushrooms, carrots, snow peas and broccoli. A keeper! Thanks for sharing!

This recipe made it into our Book #231450. 3/02/08 - This is an outstanding dish! Only change made was using olive oil in place of sesame oil and added a teaspoon of red wine vinegar in the marinade. This has an authentic Korean flavor. The rest of the family loved it as well comparing it to a Chinese "broccoli beef" dish. It was simple to prepare and was pleasing to the eyes as well as the palate. Thank you for sharing! ~Buddha
