Ingredients

Scale

  1. For the Beef Marinade:

    • 1 lb (450g) sirloin or flank steak, sliced into strips

    • 1 tbsp soy sauce

    • 1 tsp oyster sauce

    • ½ tsp black pepper

    • 1 tsp cornstarch

    For the Stir-Fry:

    • 2 tbsp vegetable oil (divided)

    • 1 small onion, chopped

    • 3 cloves garlic, minced

    • 1 red chili, sliced (optional for heat)

    • 1 cup green beans, trimmed

    • ½ cup broccoli or broccolini (optional)

    • ½ tsp salt

    • ½ tsp black pepper

    • 2 tbsp soy sauce

    • 1 tbsp oyster sauce

    • 1 tbsp hoisin sauce (optional, for sweetness)

    • ½ tsp sugar

    • ½ tsp red pepper flakes (optional)

    • ¼ cup beef broth or water

    • 1 tsp cornstarch (mixed with 1 tbsp water for thickening)

    To Serve:

    1. 2 cups cooked jasmine or basmati rice

    2. 1 tsp sesame seeds (for garnish)

Instructions

  • Marinate the beef: In a bowl, mix sliced beef with 1 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tsp oyster sauce, ½ tsp black pepper, and 1 tsp cornstarch. Let marinate for 10-15 minutes for extra tenderness.

  • Sear the beef: Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large pan or wok over high heat. Add the beef and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until browned. Remove from the pan and set aside.

  • Cook the aromatics & veggies: In the same pan, heat the remaining 1 tbsp oil. Add onions, garlic, and red chili. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Add green beans and broccoli, stirring for another 3-4 minutes until crisp-tender.

  • Make the sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp oyster sauce, 1 tbsp hoisin sauce, ½ tsp sugar, red pepper flakes, and beef broth. Pour the sauce into the pan, stirring to coat the vegetables.

  • Thicken the sauce: Stir in the cornstarch slurry and mix until the sauce thickens.

  • Combine everything: Return the beef to the pan and toss everything together for 1-2 minutes until well coated and glossy.

 

  • Serve: Spoon the stir-fry over cooked rice, garnish with sesame seeds, and enjoy hot!

Notes

  • If you prefer a spicier dish, increase the amount of red chili or add extra red pepper flakes to the sauce.

  • You can substitute broccoli with other vegetables such as bell peppers or snow peas.

 

  • This dish pairs well with a light side of pickled vegetables or a crisp cucumber salad.
