Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb beef sirloin, thinly sliced
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 medium head green cabbage, thinly sliced
  • 1 medium carrot, julienned
  • 1 medium onion, sliced
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
  • 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons water

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Beef: Thinly slice the beef against the grain. In a bowl, combine the beef with soy sauce, cornstarch, and black pepper. Toss well and let marinate for 10–15 minutes.
  2. Prepare the Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, rice vinegar, brown sugar, sesame oil, red pepper flakes, and water. Set aside.
  3. Cook the Beef: Heat olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the beef in a single layer and cook for 2–3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned. Work in batches if necessary. Remove the beef and set aside.
  4. Sauté the Aromatics: Add vegetable oil to the same skillet. Stir in the onion, garlic, and grated ginger. Cook for 1–2 minutes until fragrant.
  5. Add the Vegetables: Add the sliced cabbage and carrot. Stir-fry for 4–6 minutes until the cabbage begins to soften but still retains a little crunch.
  6. Combine the Ingredients: Return the cooked beef to the skillet and toss with the vegetables.
  7. Add the Sauce: Pour the prepared sauce over the beef and cabbage. Stir well to coat everything evenly.
  8. Finish Cooking: Cook for another 2–3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly and the beef is heated through.
  9. Garnish and Serve: Remove from heat and garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions if desired. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • For a spicier dish, increase the amount of red pepper flakes.
  • Feel free to add other vegetables like bell peppers or snap peas.
  • This dish is best served fresh but can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
