📙 Preparation:

2. In a small bowl, combine the sliced beef, 1 tbsp of soy sauce, 1 tbsp of cooking oil, 1 tsp of cornstarch, and ⅓ tsp of baking soda. Mix thoroughly and let it marinate for 10-15 minutes.
3. In a large bowl, prepare the broccoli: add 1 tsp of salt and 1 tbsp of cooking oil, pour boiling water over it, and mix well, ensuring the water covers the broccoli. Leave it for 1 minute. Then, transfer the broccoli to cold water, cool it down, and drain it in a colander.
4. In a small bowl, prepare the sauce by mixing 3 tbsp of soy sauce, 1 tbsp of rice vinegar, 1.5 tsp of sugar, 1 tsp of cornstarch, and 3 fl oz | 100 ml of water. Thoroughly mix all the ingredients.
5. Heat a pan over high heat, add 1 tbsp of cooking oil, and stir-fry the beef for 4-5 minutes until golden brown. Transfer the cooked meat to a bowl.
6. Add garlic and ginger to the skillet and cook for 1 minute over medium heat. Add the broccoli and stir-fry together for 1-2 minutes over high heat. Add the beef back to the skillet, mix all the ingredients well, then pour in the sauce. Cook together for an additional 2-3 minutes, stirring the ingredients until the sauce thickens.
7. Serve the beef with broccoli over rice or noodle, sprinkling toasted sesame seeds and scallion on top.
