Cooking steps
In a small bowl, mix together soy sauce, oyster sauce, fish sauce, brown sugar, cornstarch, water, and red pepper flakes. Set aside.
Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
Add minced garlic and stir-fry for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the sliced beef to the skillet and cook until browned, about 2-3 minutes.
Push beef to one side of the skillet and add broccoli florets. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until tender-crisp.
Add diced tomatoes to the skillet and cook for an additional 2 minutes.
Pour the sauce mixture over the beef, broccoli, and tomatoes. Stir well to coat evenly.
Reduce heat to medium-low and let simmer for 5-7 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats the ingredients.
Remove from heat and serve the Thai beef stir-fry over cooked rice.

Cooking a new dish
Starting to cook a new dish begins with selecting a recipe that matches your skill level and gathering all the necessary ingredients. Before diving in, read through the entire recipe to understand the steps and timing involved. Next, prepare your workspace by cleaning the countertops, organizing your tools, and setting out ingredients. Prepping the ingredients—such as washing, chopping, and measuring—is key to ensuring a smooth cooking process. As you cook, follow the recipe step by step, taking your time and tasting along the way to adjust flavors. Finally, serve the dish with care and enjoy the fruits of your labor.
Preparing your workspace correctly
Preparing your workspace involves starting with clean countertops, organizing your tools and equipment, and setting out all the necessary ingredients within reach. Arrange your tools, like knives, cutting boards, and measuring cups, close by for easy access, and pre-measure ingredients if possible to save time during cooking. It's helpful to have a trash bowl for food scraps to keep the area tidy. Ensure your workspace is well-lit and free of unnecessary items to maximize space. If your recipe requires it, preheat the oven or pans while organizing your space. Having a clean and organized workspace makes the cooking process more efficient and enjoyable.
Preparing your ingredients in advance
Prepping ingredients, or "mise en place," involves getting everything ready before cooking. This includes washing and chopping vegetables, measuring out ingredients, and preparing items like garlic, onions, or meat as required by the recipe. You might also marinate, soften, or melt ingredients if needed. Once prepped, arrange everything in small bowls or containers for easy access during cooking. This preparation helps streamline the cooking process and ensures you can focus on cooking without interruptions.
