Beef and Broccoli Stir-Fry

• Beef

• 1 1/4 lb flank steak, sliced thinly against the grain
• 1 tbsp soy sauce
• 1 tbsp cornstarch
• 1/4 tsp baking soda

• Sauce

• 1/4 cup oyster sauce
• 2 tbsp soy sauce
• 1 tbsp Shaoxing wine or dry sherry
• 1 tbsp brown sugar
• 2 tsp cornstarch
• 1 tsp toasted sesame oil
• 1/2 cup water

• Stir-fry

• 3 tbsp neutral oil, divided
• 1 lb broccoli florets
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tbsp minced fresh ginger
• Steamed rice, for serving

1. 1Toss the beef with the soy sauce, cornstarch and baking soda and let sit 15 minutes. This keeps it tender. Whisk the sauce ingredients together.
2. 2Heat 1 tbsp oil in a wok or large skillet over high heat. Add the broccoli and 2 tbsp water, cover and steam-fry until bright green and crisp-tender, 3 minutes. Set aside.
3. 3Add 1 1/2 tbsp oil and heat until shimmering. Add the beef in a single layer and sear without moving for 1 minute, then stir-fry until just browned, 1 minute more. Set aside.
4. 4Add the remaining oil, garlic and ginger and stir 20 seconds. Whisk the sauce again and pour it in. Simmer until glossy and thickened, about 1 minute.
5. 5Return the beef and broccoli and toss to coat. Serve over rice.
