• 4 cloves garlic (minced)
• 1 inch knob ginger (minced)
• 4 stalks green onion (sliced into 1-inch pieces, whites and green parts divided)
• 1 head broccoli (chopped)

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1Marinate the beef. Slice the flank steak against the grain into bite sized pieces about 2 inches long. In a mixing bowl, combine the steak, baking soda, cornstarch, oyster sauce, water, salt and white pepper. Set aside to marinate for 15 minutes.
2. 2Mix the stir-fry sauce. In a small mixing bowl, combine the soy sauce, dark soy sauce, oyster sauce, Shaoxing wine, sugar, beef broth, cornstarch, and sesame oil until combined.
3. 3Cook the beef. In the same wok or large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of oil until hot. Add the beef in a single layer and cook for about 30 seconds on each side or until just browned. Remove and set aside.
4. 4Stir fry. In the same wok or large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of oil over medium-high heat. Add the garlic, ginger, and the white parts of green onion, and saute for 30 seconds or until fragrant. Add the broccoli, carrots, bell peppers, shiitake mushrooms, and snow peas and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes or until lightly softened but still crisp.
5. 5Combine. Return the beef to the wok along with the green parts of green onion, and the sauce. Toss for 2-3 minutes or until the sauce has thickened and everything is evenly coated.
6. 6Serve. Serve the stir fry immediately with steamed rice and enjoy!
