Ingredients
Scale
Marinated Beef
- 1 pound beef flank steak
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 beaten egg white
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 2 teaspoons diced garlic
- 1 teaspoon grated ginger
Vegetables
- 1 small white onion, chopped
- 2 bunches of bok choy
Oyster Sauce Mix
- 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
- 1 tablespoon light soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
Optional Garnishes
- Sesame seeds
- Green onions
Instructions
- Marinate the Beef: Add thinly sliced beef to a resealable bag with cornstarch, soy sauce, rice vinegar, beaten egg white, sesame oil, diced garlic, and grated ginger. Mix well so the beef is evenly coated. Refrigerate for at least 20 minutes to tenderize and infuse flavor.
- Cook the Beef: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat with a generous drizzle of vegetable oil. When hot, add the beef slices and cook for one minute on each side until browned but not overcooked. Remove cooked beef to a plate lined with paper towels. Cook in batches if needed to avoid overcrowding.
- Sauté the Vegetables: Add another drizzle of vegetable oil to the same pan. Sauté the chopped white onion for 1-2 minutes until translucent. Add the bok choy and cook for 2-3 minutes until tender but still crisp.
- Combine and Serve: Return the cooked beef to the skillet with the vegetables. Add oyster sauce, light soy sauce, and granulated sugar. Stir constantly and cook for about one minute until the sauce thickens slightly and coats all ingredients. Serve immediately over steamed rice or stir-fry noodles. Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions if desired.
Notes
- Ribeye or sirloin can be used instead of flank steak for different texture and flavor.
- Serve the dish immediately for the best flavor and texture.
- Adjust oyster sauce and soy sauce quantities to suit your taste preference for saltiness and sweetness.
- Use vegetable oil or other neutral oil suitable for high-heat cooking in place of the suggested oil if preferred.
