1
Make the sauce by combining soy sauce, water, and sesame oil. Add grated ginger and brown sugar, stirring until the sugar dissolves completely. Set aside.
2
Prepare the beef by slicing it thinly and pounding with a meat mallet to break down the proteins. Cut into serving pieces and sprinkle with baking soda. Let sit for 5 minutes.
3
Season the beef by adding liquid seasoning, oyster sauce, ground black pepper, and cornstarch. Mix well and let sit for about 10 minutes to allow the beef to absorb the flavors.
4
Cook the broccoli by heating oil in a pan and quickly stir-frying the florets for 30 seconds. Add 2 to 3 tablespoons of water, cover, and steam for about 1½ to 2 minutes until tender-crisp. Set aside.
5
Cook the beef in the same pan with additional oil, searing each side for 40 to 90 seconds until browned. Continue cooking for about 1 minute more to ensure it's cooked through.
6
Add minced garlic to the cooked beef and mix briefly. Then add the steamed broccoli florets and gently combine all the ingredients.
7
Pour in the prepared sauce and gently stir over medium-high heat. The cornstarch will gradually thicken the sauce. Cook until you achieve your desired consistency. Taste a piece of broccoli to check the texture; if needed, cook for another minute.
8
Transfer to a serving plate and serve alongside freshly cooked rice. Optionally garnish with toasted sesame seeds for extra flavor.
