Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb flank steak (or other cut)
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon peanut oil (or vegetable oil)
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda (optional)
- 1/2 cup chicken stock (or beef stock)
- 2 tablespoons Shaoxing wine (or dry sherry)
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce

- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 head broccoli (cut into bite-size florets)

Instructions
- Slice the beef against the grain into 0.5 cm (1/4 inch) thick slices or 1-cm (1/2 inch) sticks. Transfer to a bowl. Add soy sauce, peanut oil, and cornstarch. Mix well and let marinate for 10 minutes.
- Combine all the ingredients for the sauce in a medium-sized bowl and mix well.
- Add 1/4 cup water to a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until it boils. Add the broccoli and cover. Steam until tender, about 1 minute. Transfer broccoli to a plate.
- Heat oil in the pan over medium-high. Spread the steak in a single layer. Cook without touching for 30 seconds, flip and char lightly.
- Add garlic and ginger, stirring to release their fragrance.
