2tbsp corn starch, divided
3cups broccoli florets
2tbsp olive oil
4cloves garlic, minced
1tsp ginger, grated
1cup water
1½tbsp sesame oil
1/4cup soy sauce (light)
2tbsp soy sauce (dark)
1tbsp oyster sauce
3tbsp brown sugar
green onions, sliced (for garnish)

Instructions
1
Slice beef into thin strips against the grain. Mix the baking soda and 1 tbsp of the corn starch into the beef. Let this sit for about 5-10 minutes, while you prepare the sauce and broccoli.
2
In a separate bowl or cup, whisk together the water, garlic, ginger, sesame oil, light and dark soy sauces, oyster sauce, brown sugar, and the other 1 tbsp of corn starch until well combined. Set aside.
3
Heat the olive oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Add beef strips to hot oil in one layer (do not overcrowd the pan, work in batches if needed). Sear the beef for about 2-3 minutes, until nicely browned. Be sure that you don't overcook.
4
Remove cooked beef from pan onto a plate and set aside. Add the broccoli into the same pan; add a few tbsp of water, stir together, and cover and let steam for about 3 minutes.
5
Add the beef back into the pan with the broccoli and pour the sauce in as well. Stir fry for a few minutes until sauce has thickened. If there's not enough sauce, you can add some more water as needed.
6
Serve over white rice, garnished with sliced green onions and sesame seeds. Enjoy!
