Authentic Chinese Beef and Broccoli Stir Fry

Steps

1. 1
   Prepare the beef by removing silver skin, cutting into large pieces first, then slicing into ¼-inch thick slices.
2. 2
   Marinate the beef slices with baking soda, white pepper, dark soy sauce, Chinese cooking wine, cornstarch, and satay sauce. Coat with a drizzle of oil to prevent sticking, then set aside.
3. 3
   Prepare the Chinese broccoli by discarding the end and separating the stem from leaves. Cut the stem diagonally into bite-sized pieces.
4. 4
   Make the sauce by combining light soy sauce, oyster sauce, fish sauce, sugar, cornstarch, and water in a bowl. Mix well and set aside.
5. 5
   Heat the wok on high heat until smoking hot. Add oil and swirl to create a non-stick surface.
6. 6
   Spread the marinated beef slices in the wok and cook over high heat for a couple of minutes until nicely seared. Remove the beef but leave the oil in the wok.
7. 7
   Add the Chinese broccoli stem, minced garlic, and ginger to the wok and stir over medium heat for a couple of minutes. Add a splash of water if needed to create steam. Add the leaves and continue cooking until wilted.
8. 8
   Return the cooked beef to the wok. Pour in the sauce and stir until it thickens and coats the ingredients.
9. 9
   Serve the stir-fry over white rice.
