Ingredients
Scale
Protein:
- 1 pound (454 grams) beef (sirloin, flank steak, or other tender cut), thinly sliced
Vegetables:
- 1/2 head cabbage, chopped into 1-inch pieces
- 1 small onion, sliced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
Sauces and Seasonings:
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- Salt, to taste
- Pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Infuse the beef with robust flavors by whisking together soy sauce, sesame oil, and cornstarch, then let the meat marinate for 15 minutes to enhance tenderness and absorption.
- Ignite a wok or skillet over medium-high heat with vegetable oil, swiftly sear the marinated beef until it develops a rich golden-brown exterior, approximately 2-3 minutes. Transfer the meat to a separate plate.
- In the same sizzling pan, introduce fragrant onions and minced garlic, allowing them to release their aromatic essence for one minute. Immediately incorporate shredded cabbage, stirring continuously until the vegetable wilts and becomes tender, roughly 5 minutes.
- Reunite the previously cooked beef with the vegetable medley, cascading additional soy sauce, oyster sauce, and seasoning. Toss vigorously for 1-2 minutes, ensuring each morsel is generously coated with the savory glaze.
- Present the vibrant stir-fry atop a bed of steaming rice, creating a harmonious and satisfying meal that celebrates bold Asian-inspired flavors.
Notes
- Let meat marinate longer for deeper flavor infusion and more tender texture.
- Use low-sodium soy sauce to control salt levels and make dish healthier.
- Slice beef against the grain for maximum tenderness and easier chewing.
- Quickly stir-fry vegetables to maintain crisp texture and preserve nutrients.
