Instructions
- In a large skillet or wok, heat the vegetable oil over high heat until shimmering.
- Add the sliced beef sirloin to the skillet in a single layer. Cook for about 2-3 minutes, or until browned, flipping halfway. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and ginger. Stir-fry for about 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn them.
- Add the shredded cabbage and julienned carrots to the skillet. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are slightly softened but still crisp.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, oyster sauce, and sesame oil until well combined.
- Pour the sauce over the sautéed vegetables and stir to coat evenly.
- Return the cooked beef to the skillet and toss to combine with the vegetables and sauce. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until everything is heated through.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Garnish with sliced green onions and toasted sesame seeds before serving.
- Serve immediately hot over steamed rice or noodles for a complete meal.
Tips
- For a spicier kick, add a teaspoon of red pepper flakes or sliced chili peppers when cooking the garlic and ginger.
- Feel free to swap out or add other vegetables like bell peppers, snap peas, or broccoli according to your preference.
- If you're looking for a gluten-free option, substitute the soy sauce with tamari.
