  • 1 lb flank steak thinly sliced 1/4 inch thick against the grain
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 tablespoon Shaoxing wine
  • 1 tablespoon light soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
  • 1/4 teaspoon white pepper
  • 2 tablespoon water
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch

Stir Fry Sauce

  • 1 1/2 tablespoon oyster sauce

Instructions

  1. Marinate the beef: In a bowl, mix beef with baking soda, Shaoxing wine, light soy sauce, oyster sauce, white pepper, water, and cornstarch. Set aside for 30 minutes.
