Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 450 grams Beef sirloin (thinly sliced)
- 250 grams Green beans (trimmed)
- 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Oyster sauce
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 3 Garlic cloves (minced)
- 1 teaspoon Ginger (minced)
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon Sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon Crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
In a small bowl, mix the soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, cornstarch, water, and sugar. Stir well to dissolve the cornstarch and sugar, then set the sauce mixture aside.
Trim the green beans and blanch them in boiling water for 2 minutes. Drain and rinse under cold water to stop further cooking. Set aside.
Thinly slice the beef sirloin into strips against the grain. Pat the beef dry with paper towels to ensure even browning during cooking.
In a wok or large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil over high heat. Add the beef slices and stir fry for 2-3 minutes until browned and just cooked through. Remove the beef from the pan and set aside.
Add the remaining tablespoon of vegetable oil to the wok. Toss in the minced garlic, ginger, and optional crushed red pepper flakes. Stir fry for 30 seconds until aromatic.
Add the green beans to the wok and stir fry for 2 minutes, ensuring they are evenly coated with the fragrant oil.
Return the cooked beef to the wok. Pour the sauce mixture over the beef and green beans, stirring to coat everything evenly.
Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, until the sauce thickens slightly and everything is heated through.
Remove from heat and serve the stir-fried beef and green beans immediately over steamed rice or noodles.
