Ingredients
- 1 lb Flank steak or skirt steak
- 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Peanut oil or vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
- ½ teaspoon Baking soda (optional)
- ½ cup Chicken stock or beef stock
- 2 tablespoons Shaoxing wine or dry sherry
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Dark soy sauce (optional)

- Add soy sauce, peanut oil, and cornstarch. Mix well and let marinate for 10 minutes.
- Combine all sauce ingredients in a bowl and mix well. Set aside.
- In a nonstick skillet, add water and heat until boiling. Add broccoli and cover to steam for about 1 minute.
- Transfer broccoli to a plate when done.
- Wipe the pan if necessary, add oil, and heat over medium-high.
- Spread the steak in a single layer and cook undisturbed for 30 seconds, then flip and cook until lightly charred.
- Add garlic and ginger to the pan, stirring to prevent burning.
- Return broccoli to the pan, mixing everything together.
- Pour the sauce into the skillet with the beef and broccoli.
