Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams beef sirloin, thinly sliced
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 6 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon red chili flakes
- 1 teaspoon ginger, minced
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
- 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
- 3 tablespoons water
- 2 stalks green onions, sliced
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds (optional)
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine the sliced beef, 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, and the cornstarch. Mix well to coat the beef and set aside to marinate for 10 minutes.
In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining soy sauce, brown sugar, oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, and water. This will serve as your sauce for later.
Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil.
Once the oil is hot, add the marinated beef in a single layer. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side or until browned and just cooked through. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.
Add the remaining tablespoon of vegetable oil to the skillet. Toss in the minced garlic, ginger, and red chili flakes. Stir-fry for 30 seconds to 1 minute until fragrant.
Pour the prepared sauce into the skillet and stir to combine with the aromatics. Let it simmer for 1-2 minutes until slightly thickened.
Return the cooked beef to the skillet and toss to coat in the sauce. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
Remove the skillet from heat and garnish the spicy garlic beef with sliced green onions and optional sesame seeds.
Serve hot over steamed rice or noodles for a complete meal.
