Ingredients

Instructions

Make the Marinade

  • Whisk the soy sauce, sesame oil, 1 teaspoon of cornstarch and the baking soda in a medium bowl (or you can mix the ingredients in a large zip top bag for easy clean up)
  • Slice the beef into thin strips and add them to the marinade. Let the beef marinate for 20 minutes or in the refrigerator for a few hours or overnight.

Make the Sauce

  • In a small bowl, stir together the stock, rice wine, oyster sauce and the remaining 1 teaspoon of cornstarch. Mix until well combined.

Stir Fry

  • In a wok or large skillet, heat the oil over high heat. Add the marinated beef and garlic and cook for about 2 to 3 minutes stirring constantly. The beef should get a nice sear but still be rare to medium rare inside.
  • Turn the heat to medium and add the broccoli florets. Cook for about 2 minutes stirring often. Stir in the sauce and mix well. Cook for a few minutes tossing the ingredients (stir frying) constantly. The sauce will start to thicken and turn into a nice glaze. Remove from the heat, garnish with sliced green onions (optional) and serve.

Notes

  • Freeze the beef for about 30 minutes before slicing. The beef firms up and it's easier to slice.
  • Slice the beef against the grain.
  • If your sauce/glaze gets too thick after cooking, you can add additional broth to make it thinner.
  • If you like your beef rare, only cook it for about 1 minute before adding the broccoli.
  • If your broccoli is too al dente for your taste, turn the heat to low and cover the wok or skillet and let the stir fry cook for about 2 - 3 minutes. Keep in mind this will also cook the beef a bit more.
