Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams beef sirloin
- 300 grams choy sum
- 1 cup satay sauce
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 3 cloves garlic
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 3 tablespoons water
- 1 teaspoon brown sugar
- 2 stalks green onions
- 1 piece red chili (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Slice the beef sirloin into thin strips, about 1/4-inch thick, and set aside.
In a small bowl, mix 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, 2 tablespoons of oyster sauce, 1 teaspoon of cornstarch, and 3 tablespoons of water. Stir until smooth, then add to the beef to marinate. Let sit for 10 minutes.
Wash and trim the ends of the choy sum. Cut into 2-inch pieces, separating the stems from the leafy parts for even cooking.
Mince the garlic and thinly slice the green onions. Slice the red chili into thin rounds if using for garnish.
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large wok or skillet over high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the marinated beef. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until the beef is browned and just cooked through. Remove the beef from the wok and set aside.
Add the remaining tablespoon of vegetable oil to the wok. Toss in the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the choy sum stems to the wok and stir-fry for 1-2 minutes. Then add the leafy parts and cook for another minute until wilted but still bright green.
Reduce the heat to medium and return the beef to the wok. Add 1 cup of satay sauce and 1 teaspoon of brown sugar, stirring everything together to coat evenly.
Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together and the sauce to thicken slightly.
Transfer to a serving dish and garnish with the sliced green onions and optional red chili. Serve hot with steamed rice or noodles.
