Marinade
- 1 tbsp soy sauce

Instructions
- To make the marinade, in a mixing bowl, whisk together soy sauce, sesame oil, and cornflour. Add beef strips and toss until completely coated. Place in the refrigerator to marinate for 30 minutes.
- In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together oyster sauce, sugar, water, and remaining cornflour.
- Bring a pot of lightly salted water to a boil over high heat. Add broccoli to the boiling water and cook for 2 minutes, or until al dente and colour is vibrant green. Strain broccoli and set aside.
- Heat vegetable oil in a wok over medium-high heat. Add ginger, garlic, and shallot, and cook 1-2 minutes. Add beef strips in marinade and cook for 2-3 minutes. Flip beef strips, and cook for 1-2 minutes. Once both sides of beef are slightly browned, add broccoli. Pour oyster sauce mixture over top, toss and cook for 2-3 minutes. Once sauce has thickened, remove from heat.
