2Marinate the steak with cornstarch, baking soda, oyster sauce, soy sauce, neutral oil, grated garlic, and grated ginger. Use a vacuum sealer for shorter marination time.
3Prepare the sauce by combining chicken broth, beef broth, soy sauce, dark soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, brown sugar, and white pepper.
4Chop additional ginger and garlic for the sauce.
5Heat a wok with oil until piping hot.
6Add beef to the wok, flatten into a single layer, and sear until cooked along the edges. Remove the meat.
7Add a little more oil to the wok, then add the chopped garlic and ginger. Sauté until golden brown.
8Add Shaoxing wine (optional) and let it reduce.
9Add broccoli to the wok and sauté until it turns a bright green. Cover to help it cook.
10Pour the prepared sauce over the broccoli and bring to a boil.
11Thicken the sauce by adding a slurry of equal parts cornstarch and water.
12Add the cooked beef back into the wok with the sauce.
13Add the noodles to the wok.
14Sauté everything together for a final aggressive sauté.
15Garnish with green onions and serve.

Tips
Cut flank steak against the grain and thin to shorten muscle fibers for a tender bite.
Cornstarch and baking soda in the marinade help lock in moisture.
Vacuum sealing can shorten marination time.
Dark soy sauce is mainly for color and can be omitted.
Shaoxing wine provides a true takeout flavor.
Cook broccoli until it turns a nice bright green.
A cornstarch and water slurry thickens the sauce.
Noodles used are pre-boiled and ready to cook; adjust if your noodles need boiling first.
