Ingredients
Scale
Main Protein:
- 1 lb (450g) sirloin or flank steak, sliced into strips
Marinades and Seasonings:
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon oyster sauce
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
- 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
- ½ teaspoon sugar
- ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
- ¼ cup beef broth or water
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon water
Vegetables and Cooking Components:
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 small onion, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 red chili, sliced
- 1 cup green beans, trimmed
- ½ cup broccoli or broccolini
- 2 cups cooked jasmine or basmati rice
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds
Instructions
- Prepare a zesty marinade by combining sliced beef with soy sauce, oyster sauce, black pepper, and cornstarch in a mixing bowl. Allow the meat to absorb the flavors for 10-15 minutes, ensuring maximum tenderness and depth of taste.
- Ignite a large skillet or wok with high heat, adding oil to create a searing environment. Quickly stir-fry the marinated beef until it develops a rich, caramelized exterior, approximately 2-3 minutes. Transfer the browned meat to a separate plate.
- Utilize the same cooking vessel to unleash aromatic ingredients. Introduce onions, minced garlic, and fiery red chili, sautéing until the kitchen fills with an enticing fragrance. Incorporate green beans and broccoli, stirring vigorously to maintain their crisp texture and vibrant color.
- Craft a complex sauce by whisking together soy sauce, oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, sugar, red pepper flakes, and beef broth in a small bowl. Pour this flavor-packed liquid into the vegetable-filled pan, ensuring an even coating.
- Create a glossy finish by introducing a cornstarch slurry, stirring continuously until the sauce transforms into a luxurious, clinging consistency.
- Reunite the previously seared beef with the vegetable medley, gently tossing to ensure every morsel is generously coated with the robust, spicy sauce. Allow the ingredients to meld for a final 1-2 minutes, creating a harmonious stir-fry experience.
Notes
- Tenderize beef by slicing against the grain, ensuring each piece cooks evenly and remains juicy.
- Prep vegetables beforehand to create a smooth, quick stir-fry process without interruptions.
- Use high heat consistently to achieve that signature wok-seared flavor and crisp vegetable texture.
- Customize spice levels by adjusting red chili and pepper flakes for mild to fiery preferences.
