Equipment

  • large frying pan

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb. beef sirloin steak cut into thin strips
  • 4 tbsp canola or vegetable oil
  • 1 cup water or beef broth
  • 5 garlic cloves finely minced
  • 1/2 Knorr beef bouillon cube
  • 1 tbsp unsalted butter

Marinade ingredients:

  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp dark oyster sauce
  • 1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tbsp corn flour cornstarch
  • 1 tsp toasted sesame oil
  • 1/2 tsp fresh ginger grated

Instructions
 

  • Ready to dive into cooking? Here’s how to create this dish step-by-step.

Step 1: Marinate the Beef

  • Start by placing the thin strips of beef in a bowl. Add soy sauce, dark oyster sauce, black pepper, garlic powder, corn flour, toasted sesame oil, and grated ginger.
  • Mix well to ensure each piece is coated. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. If you can, let it sit longer. This helps deepen the flavors.

Step 2: Prepare the Pan

  • Heat the canola or vegetable oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Once the oil shimmers, it’s the perfect time to cook the beef.

Step 3: Cook the Beef

  • Remove the marinated beef from the fridge. Add it gradually to the hot pan, making sure not to overcrowd. You want to hear a satisfying sizzle as it cooks.
  • Let it sear for about 2-3 minutes on each side until browned but not overcooked. Carefully set aside once done.

Step 4: Create the Sauce

  • In the same pan, reduce the heat a little and throw in the minced garlic. Stir swiftly to avoid burning.
  • After about 30 seconds, pour in the water (or beef broth) and crumble the Knorr beef bouillon cube. Bring to a simmer, mixing it all together.

Step 5: Combine and Finish Up

  • Once the sauce is simmering and flavorful, return the beef to the pan. Add in the butter for richness.
  • Stir everything for another couple of minutes, ensuring the beef absorbs the sauce. Your kitchen should be filled with mouthwatering aromas.

Step 6: Serve and Enjoy

  • Transfer the beef to a serving dish. Pair it with your chosen sides, and perhaps a sprinkle of fresh herbs for added flair. Enjoy this culinary creation!

Notes

Here are some helpful tips to make your dish stand out:
  • Choose the Right Cut: Opt for sirloin steak for tenderness. Flank steak is another option but may require marinating longer.
  • Slice Think: Cutting the beef into uniformly thin strips ensures even cooking. A sharp knife helps, too!
  • Mind the Heat: Keep your pan hot when cooking the beef to achieve a nice browning without steaming the meat.
  • Season to Taste: After cooking, taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning. You may want to add a dash of soy sauce or a sprinkle of salt.
  • Fresh Ingredients: Always use fresh garlic for its robust flavor—dried garlic won’t replicate the same taste.
