Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams beef sirloin, thinly sliced
- 4 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon ginger, minced
- 1 teaspoon red chili flakes
- 1 teaspoon Sichuan peppercorns (optional, for extra heat)
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
- 120 milliliters water (for sauce)
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 2 stalks green onions, sliced
- 2 red chili peppers, thinly sliced
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
Instructions
In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce, oyster sauce, brown sugar, and water. Stir well and set aside.
In another small bowl, mix the cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of water to create a slurry. Set aside.
Heat a wok or large frying pan over medium-high heat and add the vegetable oil.
Once the oil is hot, add the minced garlic and ginger. Stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to let it burn.
Add the thinly sliced beef to the wok and stir-fry for 4-5 minutes until browned and cooked through.
Sprinkle the red chili flakes and Sichuan peppercorns (if using) over the beef. Add the sliced chili peppers into the wok and stir-fry for another minute.
Pour the prepared sauce mixture over the beef and bring everything to a simmer.
Slowly add the cornstarch slurry to the pan, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens to your desired consistency.
Drizzle the sesame oil over the dish and give it one final stir.
Garnish with the sliced green onions and serve hot with steamed rice or noodles.
