¼ cup Sake (Japanese dry wine), divided. If you don't have Sake you can use sherry

In a medium size bowl combine 1 tablespoon tapioca, 1 minced garlic clove and 2 tablespoons of sake. Add beef and mix well. Set aside

Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a wok or large non-stick pan over high heat. Add the broccoli and onions and stir-fry for 1 minute. Transfer to a large glass bowl and cover with a plate, allowing the veggies to continue to cook

Add the remainder of oil to the wok and heat until smoking. Add beef and stir-fry for 2 minutes. The beef should remain pink in the middle
