Add the marinated beef into the pot, stir and cook until 80% cooked, then remove and set aside. Add 1 tablespoon of peanut oil into the pot. Add garlic and ginger, then stir for 30 seconds to flavor the oil. Add the broccoli into the pot, stir and cook for roughly 1 minute.Add the beef back into the pot, then add Shaoxing wine, stir and cook. Continue to stir as you add the remaining Stir Fry Sauce to the pot. Stir and mix well, add salt to taste (please taste!).Optional: thicken the sauce with an extra tablespoon of cornstarch mixed with 1 tablespoon of water if desired.

Notes
- It’s very important to cut the beef as thin as you can on a 20 degree angle against the grain.
- Please note: Different soy sauces have different levels of saltiness. I only needed to use 1 tablespoon of regular soy sauce from my old bottle and I had to use 2 tablespoons with the new bottle I just bought. Please taste the stir fry sauce and adjust accordingly before marinating the beef.
