we have food at home.

(with minimal ingredients)

~ingredients:

• 1 lb flank steak (sliced against the grain)
• beef marinade: 1 tbsp oyster sauce, 1 tbsp soy sauce, 2 tbsp water,  2 tsp corn starch, 1 tsp baking soda, 1/2 tsp white pepper, 1 tbsp oil
• 2-3 broccoli (chopped into pieces)
• sauce: 1 tbsp oyster sauce, 1 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tsp dark soy sauce, 1 tbsp water, 1 tbsp shaoxing wine, 1 tsp sugar, 1/2 tsp white pepper 
• corn starch slurry: 1 tsp corn starch + 2 tbsp water
• sesame seeds (garnish) 

~instructions: 

1. To prepare the beef, soak the beef slices in water for 30 minutes. Massage and rinse a couple times to wash away the blood and impurities. Drain after 30 minutes, pat to dry. 
2. Mix the marinade ingredients and marinate beef for a minimum of 30 minutes, but best overnight. If marinating overnight in fridge, make sure the beef is at room temp before cooking. 
3. Blanch the broccoli in a pot of boiling water for a minute. Drain and set aside. 
4. Heat up a wok on high heat with neutral oil. Once the wok is smoking, add in the beef in a single layer. 
5. Let the beef cook, searing on one side for a minute before flipping. Cook the beef about 70% of the way. Remove and set aside. 
6. In the same wok, add a little more oil, then add in the broccoli. Stir fry for a minute, before adding the meat back in. 
7. Pour in the sauce, along with the corn starch slurry. Mix and stir until sauce has thickened. 
8. Once broccoli and beef is cooked to your liking, turn off the heat. 
9. Serve over rice, and garnish with sesame seeds. Enjoy!
