Cut meat against the grain in ¼-inch thick slices. Mix beef marinade. Add beef strips and let stand for 15 minutes. In a medium bowl, mix together oyster sauce, dark and light soy sauces, chicken broth, sesame oil, sugar, and white pepper. Preheat a wok. Add 2 tablespoons of oil, 1 slice of ginger and garlic, and half of the salt; saute until fragrant. Increase to high heat, add beef; stir-fry until browned, about 2 minutes. Remove and set aside. Heat remaining oil in the wok over medium heat. Add the remaining ginger, garlic and salt.

Pour in sauce mixture, stir and bring to a boil. Add noodles and toss to coat with the sauce. Add the bean sprouts, chives and return the beef; stir-fry. Pick out and discard ginger and garlic.
