Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Beef sirloin, thinly sliced
- 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Oyster sauce
- 1.5 tablespoons Honey
- 2 teaspoons Sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
- 3 tablespoons Water
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Ginger, minced
- 1 whole Red chili, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons Sesame seeds, toasted
- 2 stalks Scallions, thinly sliced
- 2 cups Cooked jasmine rice or noodles, for serving
Instructions
In a medium bowl, mix the soy sauce, oyster sauce, honey, sesame oil, and cornstarch together until smooth. Add the thinly sliced beef and toss to coat. Allow it to marinate for 15 minutes while you prepare the other ingredients.
In a small bowl, combine the remaining cornstarch with water to make a slurry. Set aside for thickening the sauce later.
Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat and add the vegetable oil.
Once the oil is hot, add the minced garlic, ginger, and red chili. Stir-fry for about 30 seconds, until fragrant.
Add the marinated beef into the skillet in a single layer. Stir-fry for 3–4 minutes until the beef is browned and fully cooked.
Lower the heat to medium. Pour the cornstarch slurry into the skillet and stir to combine. The sauce will begin to thicken and coat the beef.
Sprinkle the toasted sesame seeds and half of the sliced scallions over the beef. Toss everything together and cook for another 1–2 minutes.
Remove from heat and garnish with the remaining scallions.
Serve immediately over cooked jasmine rice or noodles. Enjoy!
