Ingredients
Marinade Ingredients:
- ¼ cup oyster sauce
- 1 tablespoon liquid seasoning or soy sauce
- ½ teaspoon sesame oil, optional
- 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
- ⅛ teaspoon baking soda
Stir-Fry Ingredients:
- 500 grams beef, sliced thinly
- 2 cups (1 head) broccoli florets
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- ¼ cup cooking oil, divided
- salt and pepper to taste

- Add baking soda and stir well. Put the beef and mix well to fully combine.
- Marinate for at least 20 minutes. Set aside.
- In a pan over medium-high heat, add 1 tablespoon of oil. Saute garlic and cook until slightly brown.
- Add broccoli and stir fry for at least 2-3 minutes or until tender-crisp and color becomes vibrant green. Season with salt and pepper. Remove from the pan and set aside.
- Wipe the same pan with a paper towel. Over medium-high heat, add the remaining oil. Once the oil gets hot, add the marinated beef.
