Marinate The Beef

  • Use your hands to mix the beef with all other ingredients. Marinate it for 30 minutes.

Prepare The Stir-Fry Sauce

  • In a small mixing bowl, add 2 tablespoons of light soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of oyster sauce, 1 tablespoon of dark soy sauce, and 1 tablespoon of white vinegar.
  • Sprinkle ½ tsp of salt, 1 tbsp of sugar, 2 tbsp of cornstarch, and ½ tsp of black pepper over the sauce.
  • Add 1 cup of water to the mix.
  • Use a fork to combine all the ingredients until they dissolve and the sauce is smooth. Set the sauce aside for later use.

Boil The Broccoli

  • Place a deep cooking pot filled with water on the stove and bring it to a boil.
  • Once the water is boiling, add 500 grams of broccoli to the pot. Use a spoon to press down and submerge the broccoli completely in the water.
  • Boil the broccoli for 2-3 minutes.
  • Use a slotted spoon to remove the broccoli from the boiling water and drain any excess water.

  • Add the marinated beef slices to the skillet and spread them across the pan using a spatula.
  • Cook the beef for 4-5 minutes.
  • Flip the beef slices once one side is brown. Keep stirring and flipping until both sides are brown and cooked through.
  • Transfer the beef to a separate plate and keep it aside.

Saute Ginger-Garlic and Add Broccoli

  • In the same skillet, add another 1 tbsp of oil.
  • Toss in 1 tbsp of minced garlic and 1 tbsp of minced ginger.
  • Add 1 tsp of chili flakes to the skillet and fry for a few seconds.
  • Add the boiled broccoli to the skillet.
