Chop the **beef** into thin, long, bite-sized strips. Place in a bowl that can hold the beef and the rest of the marinade. 2. Add a pinch of **salt**, **sugar**, **vegetable oil**, **sodium bicarbonate**, **corn starch**, **rice wine**, and **ginger** to the bowl with the beef. 3. Give the marinade a good mix and leave in the fridge for at least 60 minutes. 4. Chop the **broccoli** into manageable pieces and bring a pot of **salted water** to a boil. 5. Blanch the broccoli quickly and drain it from the water. Don't leave it too long or you'll lose the crunch. 6. Put **vegetable oil** into a wok over high heat. 7. Add the **garlic** and **ginger** and immediately add in the **beef** before they burn. 8. Layer the beef in a single layer and sear to develop a crust. Then stir fry until golden brown. 9. Add **broccoli** along with the **oyster sauce**. Stir through to coat. 10. Turn the heat down to low. 11. Mix the **cornflour slurry ingredients** and add it to the wok. Gradually turn the heat back to medium as you stir fry. Continue until the sauce thickens and becomes translucent. ## Notes ### Substitute - Replace rice wine with dry sherry if not available. ### Healthy Era - Use more broccoli than you think you need! ## References - Reference Recipe **[HERE](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fSO83XlKcPI)**
