  • 1 lb beef flank steak or skirt steak
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 tablespoon light soy sauce or soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon peanut oil
  • 2 teaspoons cornstarch
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
  • 1 tablespoon light soy sauce or soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon dark soy sauce or soy sauce
  • 2 teaspoons sugar
  • 2 teaspoons cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 2 tablespoons peanut oil or vegetable oil
  • 1/2 white onion sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic sliced
  • 1 thumb ginger sliced
  • 1 small batch asparagus tough ends removed and cut to bite-size pieces or 1 bell pepper

Equipment

  • Large skillet or wok
  • Medium-sized mixing bowl
  • Small mixing bowl
  • Wooden spoon or spatula
  • Sharp knife and cutting board

Method
 

  1. In a medium-sized bowl, toss the beef with baking soda, soy sauce, peanut oil, and cornstarch. Let it marinate.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together chicken broth, oyster sauce, soy sauces, sugar, cornstarch, and sesame oil to prepare the sauce.
  3. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the beef in a single layer and sear for about a minute on each side, then transfer to a plate.
  4. Add the remaining oil, onion, garlic, and ginger to the skillet and stir-fry for 2 minutes until fragrant.
  5. Toss in the asparagus or bell pepper and cook until slightly softened.
  6. Pour the sauce into the skillet and stir until it thickens. Return the beef to the pan and coat evenly with the sauce.

Notes

Use fresh ginger for the best flavor. Don’t skip the baking soda; it makes the beef melt-in-your-mouth tender. Slice veggies uniformly for even cooking.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days and reheat gently. Freezing isn’t ideal, but uncooked marinated beef can be frozen for future use.
Consider meal prepping by portioning out servings with rice for easy lunches. Always taste and adjust seasoning after reheating.
