1

Place sirloin steak in the freezer for 30 minutes to make slicing easier.

In a bowl, combine sliced steak with 1/4 teaspoon baking soda and black pepper, and 2 tablespoons soy sauce; mix well and set aside for a few minutes.

4

In another bowl, whisk together beef broth, soy sauce, oyster sauce, brown sugar, and cornstarch to make the sauce; set aside.

5

Chop 3-4 cloves of garlic and set aside.

6

Preheat a large skillet over high heat with neutral oil.

7

Add the steak to the skillet in a single layer and cook for about 1 minute per side until browned.

8

Add garlic to the skillet and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.

9

Add broccoli to the skillet and stir-fry with the steak and garlic, cooking until broccoli is bright green and tender-crisp.
