Step-by-Step Instructions

Cut the steak into 1-inch cubes, leaving a little fat attached for better flavor. In a medium bowl, toss the beef with 1 tbsp vegetable oil, baking soda, cornstarch, and salt until evenly coated. Let stand for 30 to 60 minutes.

In a small bowl, whisk together the water, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, oyster sauce, white pepper, and sesame oil. Set the sauce aside.

Trim and separate the bok choy leaves, then wash them very well to remove any grit. Drain thoroughly so the vegetables stir-fry instead of steam.

Heat a wok or large skillet over high heat. Add 1 tbsp vegetable oil, then immediately add the ginger slices. After a few seconds, add the garlic and bok choy.

Stir-fry the bok choy quickly until it just starts to wilt, about 1 minute. If needed, cover for 30 seconds to help it soften without overcooking.
