Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Beef sirloin (thinly sliced)
- 6 cloves Garlic cloves (minced)
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper (freshly ground)
- 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Oyster sauce
- 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
- 3 tablespoons Water
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil (for stir-frying)
- 1 piece Red chili (optional, sliced for garnish)
- 2 stalks Green onions (sliced for garnish)
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the sliced beef with 2 tablespoons of soy sauce and 1 teaspoon of cornstarch. Mix well and let it marinate for 10 minutes while you prepare the other ingredients.
In a small bowl, mix the remaining 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, oyster sauce, and water. Set this sauce mixture aside.
Heat a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the vegetable oil, swirling to coat the pan.
Add the minced garlic to the hot oil and stir-fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to let it burn.
Increase the heat to high and add the beef to the wok. Stir-fry for 3–4 minutes, or until the beef is browned and cooked through.
Sprinkle the black pepper over the beef and toss to combine.
Pour the prepared sauce mixture over the beef and stir everything together. Cook for an additional minute, allowing the sauce to slightly thicken and coat the beef.
Remove the wok from the heat and transfer the stir-fried beef to a serving plate.
Garnish with sliced red chili and green onions, if desired. Serve hot with steamed rice or noodles.
