Ingredients
- 1 lb (450g) lean beef sirloin or flank steak, thinly sliced against the grain
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
- 1 small onion, thinly sliced
- 3 heads baby bok choy, ends trimmed and leaves separated
- 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
- 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon brown sugar or honey
- 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
- 1/3 cup beef or chicken broth
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons cold water (slurry)
- 2 green onions, sliced (for garnish)
- 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
- Cooked jasmine or brown rice, for serving
Instructions
-
Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large deep skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
-
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.
-
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.
-
Add sliced red bell pepper and stir-fry for 2 minutes until crisp-tender.
-
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.
-
Return beef to the skillet, tossing to coat evenly with the sauce.
-
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.
-
Remove lid, stir in cornstarch slurry, and cook for another minute, stirring constantly, until sauce thickens.
-
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional soy sauce or a pinch of sugar if needed.
-
Serve immediately over cooked jasmine or brown rice. Garnish with sliced green onions and toasted sesame seeds if desired.
-
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently to preserve bok choy texture.
