Serves 4

  • Steak

  • 1 pound steak, thinly sliced against the grain
  • 2 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp pepper
  • 1/4 tsp salt

  • Vegetable Stir Fry

  • 1 pound broccoli florets
  • 3 tbsp neutral oil, as needed
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 1 tbsp minced garlic
  • 2 tsp ginger paste

  • Sauce

  • 1/3 cup beef broth
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 1/2 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 1/2 tbsp oyster sauce
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 2 tsp cornstarch
  • 1/2 tsp white pepper
  • Pinch of cayenne powder

Instructions

  1. Marinate the steak
    In a medium bowl, toss the sliced steak with cornstarch, soy sauce, baking soda, pepper, and salt. Set aside while you prepare the rest.
  2. Make the sauce
    In a bowl or measuring cup, whisk together the beef broth, soy sauce, brown sugar, oyster sauce, rice vinegar, cornstarch, white pepper, and cayenne powder until smooth. Set aside.
  3. Cook the broccoli
    Heat 1 tbsp neutral oil in a large pan or wok over medium heat. Add the broccoli and stir-fry briefly. Add a splash of water, cover, and steam for 2 to 3 minutes until the broccoli is tender-crisp. Remove and set aside.
  4. Cook the steak
    Heat the pan over medium-high heat until very hot, then add 1 1/2 to 2 tbsp neutral oil. Add the marinated steak and stir-fry for 2 to 3 minutes, until just cooked through and seared. Remove and set aside.
  5. Cook the aromatics
    Lower the heat to medium-low. Add the sesame oil and about 1/2 tbsp neutral oil to the pan. Add the garlic and ginger and sauté for about 30 seconds, until fragrant.
  6. Combine everything
    Return the broccoli and steak to the pan. Pour in the sauce and toss everything together for 1 to 2 minutes, until the sauce thickens and coats everything evenly.
