A Cantonese-style dish that transforms tough beef into a tender, chewy texture using a baking soda marinade, then stir-fries it with crisp broccoli in a special Chinese-style sauce.

Ingredients needed 2 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Baking soda acts as a tenderizer, making even imported or tough cuts of beef surprisingly tender—this is the key secret.
  • When searing the beef, avoid flipping it too often. Wait until the bottom side is golden and seared to preserve the juices.
  • Dark soy sauce (Chinese thick soy sauce) adds an appetizing deep brown color to the dish. If unavailable, you can substitute with more Jin-ganjang, but the color will be different.

Recommended for

  • Those who want to transform lean, dry beef cuts into a tender, high-end Chinese restaurant-style dish.
  • Those who enjoy the harmony of crisp broccoli and a sweet-savory Chinese-style sauce.
  • Those looking for a unique, impressive main dish to serve to guests.
