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 bok choy
Oyster Sauce
- 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
- 1 tablespoon light soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
- Optional: sesame seeds
- Optional: green onions
Instructions
- Marinate the Beef: Add thinly sliced beef to a resealable bag along 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 flavors.
- Cook the Beef: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and drizzle with vegetable oil. Once hot, add the beef slices in batches to avoid overcrowding. Cook each side for 1 minute until browned but still tender. Remove the cooked beef to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
- Sauté the Vegetables: In the same skillet, add more vegetable oil if needed and sauté the chopped onions for 1 to 2 minutes until slightly softened. Add the bok choy and cook for 2 to 3 minutes until tender but still crisp.
- Combine and Serve: Return the cooked beef to the pan with the vegetables. Add oyster sauce, light soy sauce, and granulated sugar, stirring constantly for about 1 minute until the sauce thickens slightly and evenly coats the ingredients. Serve hot over steamed rice or stir-fry noodles. Garnish with sesame seeds and green onions if desired.
Notes
- Ribeye or sirloin can be used instead of flank steak for a different texture.
- Serve immediately for best flavor and texture, as the beef can become tough if left to sit.
- Adjust oyster sauce and soy sauce quantities to suit your taste preference, adding more for a saltier flavor.
