Ingredients
 

Marinade

  • 1 lb flank steak
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp Shaoxing cooking wine
  • 1/4 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1 egg

Broccoli

  • 400 g broccoli florets

Seasoning

  • 2 tbsp neutral oil
  • 2 cloves garlic thinly sliced
  • 2 inches ginger thinly sliced
  • 3 scallions sliced into 2 inch pieces
  • 1 tbsp oyster sauce
  • 3 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tsp Chinese seasoned aromatic vinegar
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 1/2 cup chicken or beef stock
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1 tbsp cold water

Instructions
 

  • Steak | Slice the steak into 2.5 inch slabs along the grain. Then into 1/4” thick pieces on a 60-degree angle against the grain.
    Transfer into a bowl, soak in cold water for 5 minutes, and drain. Pat dry.
    Add soy sauce, wine, baking soda, sugar, cornstarch, and egg. Mix well. For best results, marinate sealed and refrigerated for one hour minimum.
  • Broccoli | When the protein is almost done marinating, bring a pot of water to a boil. Add broccoli florets and cook for 2 minutes.
    Drain the broccoli and transfer to an ice bath. Set aside.
  • Assemble | Heat a large pan over high heat. Combine the cornstarch and water. Mix until dissolved.
    Add oil to the pan and swirl to coat. Once the pan is glistening, add the sliced steak and sear for one minute without stirring. Stir fry until almost fully cooked.
    Then, add the garlic, ginger, and scallions. Sauté for one minute until fragrant.
    Add soy sauce, oyster sauce, and vinegar. Stir to combine. Add the stock, broccoli, and cornstarch slurry.
    Stir well until the sauce is reduced and looks thickened. Serve hot.
