In a bowl, combine soy sauce, cornstarch, baking soda, sesame oil, and ground black pepper. Add the beef and mix well. Marinate for at least 30 minutes.

Boil water in a pot and blanch the broccoli for 1 minute. Drain and set aside.

In a separate bowl, mix all the sauce ingredients until well combined.

Heat cooking oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Sear the beef in batches for about 2 minutes per batch or until browned. Set aside.

Using the same pan, remove excess oil, leaving just enough to sauté. Add garlic and cook until fragrant.

Pour in the prepared sauce. Stir and cook until it thickens and becomes glossy.

Return the seared beef to the pan. Mix until the beef is fully coated with the sauce.

Toss in the broccoli, stir gently, then remove from heat.

Serve – Best enjoyed hot with steamed rice.
