Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Flank steak
- 2 tbsp Cornstarch
- 3 tbsp Soy sauce
- 2 tbsp Fresh ginger
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves
- 2 tbsp Vegetable oil
- 4 cups Bok choy
- 2 tbsp Brown sugar
- 1 tbsp Rice vinegar
- 2 tbsp Oyster sauce
- 1 tsp Sesame oil
- 3 Green onions
- 1 tsp Sesame seeds (optional)
Instructions
Cut the flank steak into thin strips, about 1/4 inch thick, against the grain. Place the steak strips in a bowl and toss with 2 tablespoons of cornstarch until evenly coated.
Finely grate the ginger and mince the garlic cloves. Set them aside.
In a small bowl, mix together the soy sauce, brown sugar, rice vinegar, oyster sauce, and sesame oil to create the sauce. Set aside.
Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Once the oil is hot, add the beef strips in a single layer, working in batches if necessary. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until browned and cooked through. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.
Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to the skillet. Add the ginger and garlic, stirring constantly for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the bok choy to the skillet and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until the leaves are wilted but the stalks remain slightly crisp.
Return the cooked beef to the skillet and pour in the prepared sauce. Stir everything together and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly and coats the beef and bok choy.
Slice the green onions thinly and sprinkle them over the top of the dish. If desired, garnish with sesame seeds for extra flavor.
Serve the ginger beef with steamed rice or noodles for a complete meal.
