Ingredients
1 lb flank steak, thinly sliced against the grain
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon Shaoxing wine (or dry sherry)
1 teaspoon cornstarch
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon white pepper
2 cups broccoli florets
3 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
1/4 cup oyster sauce
2 tablespoons water
1 teaspoon sesame oil
Instructions
In a bowl, combine sliced beef with soy sauce, Shaoxing wine, cornstarch, baking soda, and white pepper. Marinate for 10 minutes.
Blanch broccoli in boiling water for 1 minute, then drain and set aside.
Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a wok over high heat. Add beef in a single layer and sear undisturbed for 1 minute, then stir-fry until browned but not fully cooked. Remove beef and set aside.
Add remaining 1 tablespoon oil to wok. Add garlic and ginger, stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add broccoli and stir-fry for 1 minute. Return beef to wok.
In a small bowl, mix oyster sauce and water. Pour into wok and stir-fry until sauce coats the beef and broccoli, about 1 minute.
Drizzle with sesame oil, toss, and serve immediately.
Tips
For extra tenderness, marinate beef for up to 30 minutes.
