Instructions

  1. Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large deep skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
  2. Add the thinly sliced beef in a single layer and sear for 2-3 minutes without stirring to develop a rich brown crust. Flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes until mostly cooked through. Remove beef from pan and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil. Stir in minced garlic, grated ginger, and sliced onion. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant and onions soften slightly.
  4. Add sliced red bell pepper and stir-fry for 2 minutes until crisp-tender.
  5. Pour in soy sauce, oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, rice vinegar, brown sugar, crushed red pepper flakes (if using), and broth. Stir well and bring to a gentle simmer.
  6. Return beef to the skillet, tossing to coat evenly with the sauce.
  7. Add bok choy leaves and gently fold them into the mixture. Cover and cook 2-3 minutes until bok choy wilts but remains vibrant green and crisp-tender.
  8. Remove lid, stir in cornstarch slurry, and cook for another minute, stirring constantly, until sauce thickens.
  9. Taste and adjust seasoning with additional soy sauce or a pinch of sugar if needed.
  10. Serve immediately over cooked jasmine or brown rice. Garnish with sliced green onions and toasted sesame seeds if desired.
  11. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently to preserve bok choy texture.
