Instructions
- 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.
- Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over high heat until shimmering.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Return the cooked beef to the skillet and pour the sauce mixture over the beef and bok choy.
- Stir fry everything together for another 2 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken and coat the ingredients evenly.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste. Give it one final stir to incorporate.
- Serve hot over steamed rice or noodles, and enjoy!
