Mince ginger by thinly slicing it in the direction of the fibers.

Prepare minced garlic, using about half to 1 tablespoon.

Slice half an onion not too thinly.

Slice the whites and greens of the green onion separately, cutting the green part diagonally.

Prep broccoli by cutting each floret off the stem, halving or quartering if too large.

Remove fat from 500 g (1 lb) oyster blade beef and slice thinly against the grain.

Blanch the broccoli in salted water for 1 to 2 minutes, then plunge into icy water to stop cooking.

Marinate the beef with 2 tablespoons corn flour, 1 tablespoon water, 1 tablespoon soy sauce, and 1/4 teaspoon baking soda for 15 to 30 minutes.

Mix the sauce with 2 tablespoons oyster sauce, 1 tablespoon soy sauce, 2 teaspoons dark soy sauce, 1/2 tablespoon stevia or sugar, and 2 tablespoons Chinese shaoxing wine.

Heat a cast iron pan on medium high heat and add about 1 tablespoon of oil.

Sauté garlic, ginger, and the white part of the green onion, followed by the sliced onion.

Add the marinated beef to the pan, spreading it out for a good sear.

Flip the beef when slightly charred, scraping the pan to keep all the flavors.

When the meat is about 80% cooked, stir in the blanched broccoli.

Once everything is well distributed and the broccoli is warmed up, add the sauce.

If the sauce isn't runny enough, add a bit of water to adjust consistency.

Serve on a bed of rice and finish with a sprinkle of pepper.
