Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 400 grams beef sirloin (thinly sliced)
- 300 grams string green beans (trimmed)
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 3 tablespoons water
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 3 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoon ginger (minced)
- 0.5 teaspoon red chili flakes (optional)
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
In a small bowl, mix 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, 2 tablespoons of water, oyster sauce, and sesame oil. Set this sauce aside for later.
In another bowl, toss the thinly sliced beef with 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of cornstarch, and 1 tablespoon of water. Let the beef marinate for 10 minutes while you prep the other ingredients.
In a large wok or skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the trimmed green beans and stir fry for 3–4 minutes until they are bright green and slightly tender. Remove them from the wok and set aside.
Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to the wok. Add the minced garlic, minced ginger, and red chili flakes (if using). Stir fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Turn the heat to high and add the marinated beef to the wok. Spread it out into an even layer. Let it sear for 1 minute without stirring, then stir fry for another 1–2 minutes until the beef is browned and mostly cooked through.
Return the cooked green beans to the wok. Pour in the sauce you prepared earlier and stir everything to coat the ingredients evenly.
Let the mixture cook for another 2–3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens slightly and the green beans are fully tender but still crisp.
Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Remove from heat and serve immediately with steamed rice or noodles.
