1

In a mixing bowl, toss the beef with the baking powder. Cover and put in the fridge for 30 minutes.
2

Pull the beef from the fridge and season it lightly with salt and pepper. Add a splash of veg oil, then sear the beef in a large pan on high heat. Fry for about 3 or 4 minutes until the meat is browned.

Add the garlic and onions to the pan and fry for 2 minutes. Add the bamboo shoots and broccoli and fry another 2 minutes. Add the mirin and fry another 2 minutes. Stir in the oyster sauce and 1/4 cup water and let cook a final 3 or 4 minutes until the broccoli is cooked but still has some crunch. Add extra salt and pepper as needed and serve.
