Ingredients

• 2 lbs flank steak ( into thin 1/4 inch pieces, cut against the grain )
• 2 tbsp avocado oil (for searing beef )
• 12 oz broccoli florets (340 grams )
• 1 inch grated ginger (peeled)
• 6-8 cloves grated garlic
• 1/2 tsp white pepper
• 2 tbsp soy sauce
• 1 tbsp cornstarch
• 1 tbsp sesame oil
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 3/4 tsp garlic powder
• 1/4 cup soy sauce
• 3 tbsp oyster sauce
• 1 tbsp cornstarch
• 1 tbsp rice vinegar
• 2 tbsp brown sugar
• 1 tbsp sesame oil
• 1/2 cup beef broth
• 3/4 tsp white pepper
• 1/2 tsp ginger powder
• toasted sesame seeds, according to taste

Method

1. Grate or mince the ginger and garlic as fine as you can and set them aside.
2. Toss the thinly sliced flank steak, cut against the grain into 1/4-inch pieces, in a medium bowl with the marinade soy sauce, cornstarch, sesame oil, white pepper, baking soda and garlic powder; let it marinate for 15 to 20 minutes, or overnight.
3. Whisk the sauce together in a small bowl: the remaining soy sauce, oyster sauce, cornstarch, rice vinegar, brown sugar, sesame oil, beef broth, white pepper and ginger powder.
4. Blanch the broccoli florets in a pot of boiling water for 1 minute, then remove and set them aside.
5. Heat the avocado oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat and sear the marinated beef in a single layer for 1 to 2 minutes per side, working in batches so the pan is not crowded; remove the beef and set it aside to finish in the sauce later.
6. Lower the heat to low-medium and stir-fry the grated garlic and ginger in the pan for about 1 minute, until fragrant, keeping the browned bits in the pan.
7. Pour in the sauce and stir continuously for about 2 minutes, scraping the bottom of the pan, until the sauce thickens and bubbles.
8. Return the beef and broccoli to the skillet, toss everything through the sauce, heat for 1 to 2 minutes, then simmer on medium-high for another 2 minutes until the beef is tender.
9. Serve the beef and broccoli over steamed white rice, garnished with the toasted sesame seeds and green onions.
