Ingredients
- 1 lb beef sirloin, thinly sliced against the grain
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp Shaoxing rice wine (optional)
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 1 large onion, thinly sliced
- 1 bunch bok choy, stems and leaves separated and chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 inch ginger, minced
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1/4 cup beef broth
- 2 tbsp oyster sauce
- 1 tbsp brown sugar
- 1 tbsp dark soy sauce
- Green onions, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- In a bowl, combine the sliced beef with cornstarch, soy sauce, rice wine (if using), and sesame oil. Mix well and let marinate for at least 15 minutes.
- Heat 1 tbsp of vegetable oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated beef and stir-fry until browned and cooked through (about 3-5 minutes). Remove the beef from the wok and set aside.
- Add the remaining 1 tbsp of vegetable oil to the wok. Add the onion, garlic, and ginger and stir-fry until fragrant (about 1 minute).
- Add the bok choy stems to the wok and stir-fry for 2 minutes. Then, add the bok choy leaves and stir-fry for another minute until slightly wilted.
- Return the cooked beef to the wok. Add the beef broth, oyster sauce, brown sugar, and dark soy sauce. Bring to a simmer and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened slightly.
- Garnish with chopped green onions and serve hot over rice or noodles.
Notes
For a gluten-free option, substitute soy sauce and oyster sauce with tamari and gluten-free alternatives. For a vegetarian dish, swap beef for tofu or tempeh.
