Description

Tender beef stir-fried with Chinese onions, garlic, and ginger in a rich savory sauce. A fast and flavorful Chinese-style dinner.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb (450g) beef sirloin, thinly sliced against the grain
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
  • 1 tablespoon Shaoxing wine (or dry sherry)
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch
  • 1/2 teaspoon sugar
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 thumb-sized piece of ginger, julienned
  • 45 stalks Chinese onions (scallions), cut into 2-inch pieces
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste


Instructions

  1. In a bowl, mix beef with soy sauce, Shaoxing wine, cornstarch, and a pinch of pepper. Marinate for at least 15 minutes.
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a wok over high heat. Stir-fry beef for 2–3 minutes until browned. Remove and set aside.
  3. Add the remaining oil to the wok. Stir-fry garlic and ginger until fragrant.
  4. Add scallions and cook for 1–2 minutes until lightly wilted.
  5. Return beef to the pan. Add oyster sauce and sugar. Stir well to coat evenly.
  6. Stir-fry for another 1–2 minutes until glossy. Adjust seasoning to taste and serve hot with steamed rice.

Notes

  • Slice beef against the grain for maximum tenderness.
  • Substitute Shaoxing wine with dry sherry if needed.
  • Use a hot wok or skillet to achieve a good sear.
