Ingredients:
• 1 pound beef sirloin, sliced thinly against the grain

• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
• 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
• ¼ cup brown sugar

• 1 tablespoon minced garlic
• half rough dice white onion
• 1 bunch thin sliced green onions
• 1 cup beef broth

1. Freeze the beef for 30 minutes – this makes it easier to cut. Slice it thinly against the grain.
2. In a bowl, mix the cornstarch, baking soda and egg white.
3. Add the sliced beef to the bowl and mix well to coat all the pieces. Let the beef sit for about 30 minutes.
4. In a separate bowl mix in your beef broth, soy sauce, oyster sauce, hoisin sauce and brown sugar
5. Prepare the broccoli by cutting it into bite-sized florets.
6. Bring a pot of water to a boil and blanch the broccoli for about 2-3 minutes until it turns bright green. Drain and set aside.
7. Heat 1 teaspoon of the vegetable oil in a wok or large skillet over high heat. Add the minced garlic, green onions and white onions and stir-fry for about 10 seconds until fragrant.
8. Add the beef and stir-fry for about 2-3 minutes until it turns brown and is half halfway cooked through.
9. Add the soy sauce mixture to the wok or skillet and stir-fry for another minute until the beef is fully cooked and the sauce thickens.
10. Finally, add the blanched broccoli to the wok or skillet and stir-fry for another 1-2 minutes until the broccoli is heated through and coated with the sauce
11. Taste and season with salt and pepper as needed.
