Ingredients
- 8 oz beef sirloin or flank steak, thinly sliced
- 1 cup bamboo shoots, sliced (fresh or canned)
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1-inch piece of ginger, minced
- 2–3 red chili peppers, thinly sliced (adjust to taste)

Instructions
- In a bowl, mix the sliced beef with 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, 1 teaspoon of cornstarch, and 1 teaspoon of rice wine. Marinate for at least 15 minutes.
