Ingredient note
Cooking often breaks down the heat-sensitive proteins that trigger oral allergy syndrome, so the cooked broccoli in this recipe is likely tolerated by many with OAS. If unsure, consult your doctor. To always avoid broccoli, tap it and change its rating to Red.
2 tbsp vegetable oil, divided
3 cloves garlic, minced

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.
2
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.
