Method

5 steps · 53 min

01
Marinate the Beef
In a bowl, combine the beef with 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon sesame seed oil, a pinch of pepper, 1 egg white, 2 tablespoons corn starch, and 1 tablespoon oil. Mix everything well to coat the beef evenly.
02
Sear the Beef
Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a wok or large skillet over high heat. Add the marinated beef and cook until it's golden brown on all sides. Once cooked, remove the beef from the wok and set it aside.
03
Sauté Aromatics and Vegetables
Add another 1 tablespoon of oil to the wok, then add the minced ginger and minced garlic. Stir-fry for just a few seconds until fragrant.
Next, add all the vegetables (onion, carrots, green pepper, celery, and mushrooms). Stir-fry for a few minutes until they start to soften but still have some crunch. Pour in the 1 tablespoon cooking wine and 1 cup water, bringing it to a simmer.
04
Combine Sauce and Beef
Return the cooked beef to the wok. Stir in the 1 tablespoon oyster sauce, 1/2 teaspoon hot sauce, 1 teaspoon sugar, and 1 tablespoon soy sauce. Toss everything to combine and ensure the beef and vegetables are coated in the sauce.
05
Thicken the Sauce
In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining 1 tablespoon cornstarch with 2 tablespoons water until smooth. Slowly pour this slurry into the simmering stir-fry, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens to your desired consistency. It should be thick enough to lightly coat the back of a spoon.
