Slice the flank steak thinly against the grain.

In a bowl, combine the sliced steak with baking soda, 1 tbsp corn starch, 1 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tsp dark soy sauce, and 1 tsp oyster sauce. Mix well to coat the beef.

3

Let the beef marinate for at least 20 minutes.

Add the marinated beef and stir-fry for about 40-60 seconds until seared.

8

Pour the prepared sauce over the beef and stir to combine.

9

Add the blanched broccoli florets to the wok. Cook for 1 minute, stirring to coat everything in the sauce as it thickens.
