Instructions
- 1
In a medium bowl, toss the sliced flank steak with 1 tbsp soy sauce, baking soda, and 1 tsp cornstarch until evenly coated. Let the beef rest for 10 minutes at room temperature — this brief velvet-marinade step tenderizes the meat.

In a small bowl, whisk together the 1/3 cup soy sauce, oyster sauce, brown sugar, 1 tbsp cornstarch, sesame oil, beef broth, and grated ginger until the cornstarch is fully dissolved and the sauce is smooth. Set aside.
