Broccoli Beef

For the marinade:
Whisk together the baking soda, sugar, cornstarch, soy sauce, water, and 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large bowl. Add the steak and toss it with the marinade to coat. Cover and refrigerate at least 1 hour, then proceed below

In a small bowl, stir together the soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic, flour and apple cider vinegar until smooth. Set aside.

In a large wok or saute pan, heat 2 tablespoons of the vegetable oil over high heat until shimmering. Add broccoli and saute 3 minutes, stirring often. Transfer broccoli to a plate.

Carefully add the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil to the hot pan. Add the marinated meat and half of the sauce mixture and saute for 3-4 minutes, stirring often, until the meat is cooked through and no longer pink. Stir in the cooked broccoli and remaining sauce. Saute 1 minute more.

Serve with steamed rice or starch of your choice.
