Servings: 4

Ingredients

  • Beef sirloin (1 pound, thinly sliced)
  • Bok choy (4 cups, chopped)
  • Garlic (3 cloves, minced)
  • Ginger (1 tablespoon, minced)
  • Vegetable oil (2 tablespoons)
  • Sesame oil (1 tablespoon)
  • Soy sauce (3 tablespoons)
  • Oyster sauce (2 tablespoons)
  • Cornstarch (1 tablespoon)
  • Salt (to taste)
  • Pepper (to taste)

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, and cornstarch until smooth. Set this sauce mixture aside to allow the flavors to meld.
  2. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over high heat until shimmering.
  3. Add the thinly sliced beef to the skillet, spreading it out in an even layer. Stir fry for 2-3 minutes, or until the beef is browned and cooked through. Remove the beef from the skillet and set it aside on a plate.
  4. In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and ginger. Stir fry for about 1 minute, or until fragrant, making sure not to burn them.
  5. Add the chopped bok choy to the skillet and stir fry for 2-3 minutes, or until the bok choy is wilted and tender yet still vibrant and crisp.
  6. Return the cooked beef to the skillet and pour the sauce mixture over the beef and bok choy.
  7. Stir fry everything together for another 2 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken and coat the ingredients evenly.
  8. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Give it one final stir to incorporate.
  9. Serve hot over steamed rice or noodles, and enjoy!
