Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 400 grams beef sirloin or flank steak
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Shaoxing wine (or dry sherry)
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 6 stalks spring onions
- 3 cloves garlic
- 1 inch ginger
- 3 tablespoons black bean sauce
- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
- 1 teaspoon dark soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 80 milliliters water or beef stock
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
Instructions
Thinly slice the beef against the grain into bite-sized strips and place in a bowl.
Marinate the beef with 1 tablespoon of cornstarch, 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, and the Shaoxing wine. Mix well and let it sit for 15 minutes.
Cut the spring onions into 2-inch pieces, separating the white and green parts. Mince the garlic, and julienne the ginger.
Prepare the sauce by mixing the black bean sauce, oyster sauce, dark soy sauce, sugar, and water (or beef stock) in a small bowl. Set aside.
Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a wok or large skillet over high heat. Once hot, add the marinated beef and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until just browned. Remove the beef from the wok and set aside.
Add the remaining tablespoon of vegetable oil to the wok. Stir in the garlic, ginger, and the white parts of the spring onions. Stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Pour in the sauce mixture and bring it to a simmer. Let the sauce thicken slightly, 1-2 minutes.
Return the beef to the wok, tossing to coat in the sauce. Add the green parts of the spring onions and stir-fry for 1 minute.
Drizzle with sesame oil just before serving for added flavor.
Serve immediately with steamed rice or noodles.
