Cabbage and Beef Stir Fry

Ingredients

• Beef sirloin (1 pound, thinly sliced)
• Cabbage (4 cups, shredded)
• Carrots (2, julienned)
• Garlic (3 cloves, minced)
• Ginger (1 tablespoon, minced)
• Vegetable oil (2 tablespoons)
• Sesame oil (1 tablespoon)
• Soy sauce (3 tablespoons)
• Oyster sauce (2 tablespoons)
• Salt (to taste)
• Pepper (to taste)
• Green onions (2, sliced (for garnish))
• Toasted sesame seeds (1 tablespoon (for garnish))

Instructions

1. In a large skillet or wok, heat the vegetable oil over high heat until shimmering.
2. 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.
3. In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and ginger. Stir-fry for about 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn them.
4. 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.
5. In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, oyster sauce, and sesame oil until well combined.
6. Pour the sauce over the sautéed vegetables and stir to coat evenly.
7. 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.
8. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
9. Garnish with sliced green onions and toasted sesame seeds before serving.
10. Serve immediately hot over steamed rice or noodles for a complete meal.
