Super Tender Beef Stir Fry
Ingredients
1 pound sirloin steaks
2 tbsp vegetable oil
3 garlic cloves, roughly chopped
1 onion, sliced
2 bell peppers, de-seeded and cut into bite-sized pieces
2 scallions, finely chopped
Marinade:
1 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp Chinese Shaoxing wine
½ tsp baking soda
3 tsp cornstarch
Stir-fry sauce:
3 tbsp oyster sauce
3 tbsp Chinese Shaoxing wine
2 tbsp soy sauce
½ tsp dark soy sauce
2 tsp sugar
1½ tsp ground black pepper
2 tsp white vinegar
Directions
Slice the steaks against the grain and at a diagonal to form wide strips that are no more than 0.5 cm (0.2 inches) thick.
Whisk together the marinade ingredients in a large bowl. Add the beef and mix well with your hands to make sure each piece of beef is coated. Set aside to marinate for 10 minutes.
To make the stir-fry sauce, mix the ingredients in a small bowl.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large non-stick frying pan over high heat. Add the garlic and then the onion and stir-fry for 30 seconds.
Push the onion and garlic to the sides of the pan and add the beef strips into the center. Spread the beef out as much as possible and allow to sear for about 2 minutes. Then stir-fry and combine all the ingredients.
Before the beef is cooked through, add the peppers. Stir-fry for another 30 seconds or until the beef is just cooked. Add the stir-fry sauce and stir-fry for another 10 seconds or until everything is well coated. Turn the heat off and toss through the spring onions.
** You can add other vegetables to this stir fry, or switch them out for something different.
