Ingredients

Scale

For the Beef Marinade:

  • 1 lb flank steak or sirloin, thinly sliced against the grain

  • 1 tbsp soy sauce

  • 1 tsp cornstarch

  • 1 tsp sesame oil

For the Stir-Fry:

  • 1 tbsp vegetable oil

  • 3 cups green beans, trimmed

  • 4 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 tsp ginger, minced

  • 1/2 tsp crushed red pepper flakes (or to taste)

  • 2 green onions, sliced (optional)

For the Sauce:

  • 3 tbsp soy sauce

  • 1 tbsp hoisin sauce

  • 1 tbsp oyster sauce

  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar

  • 1 tbsp brown sugar

  • 1/4 cup water

  • 1 tsp cornstarch

For Serving:

  • Cooked jasmine or white rice

  • Sesame seeds or more sliced green onions (optional)

Instructions

  1. Marinate the beef: In a bowl, mix sliced beef with soy sauce, cornstarch, and sesame oil. Set aside for 10–15 minutes.

  2. Make the sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, hoisin, oyster sauce, vinegar, brown sugar, water, and cornstarch.

  3. Cook the green beans: Heat 1/2 tbsp oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add green beans and stir-fry for 4–5 minutes, until tender-crisp. Remove and set aside.

  4. Stir-fry the beef: Add remaining 1/2 tbsp oil to the pan. Add marinated beef in a single layer. Cook for 1–2 minutes without stirring, then stir-fry for another 2–3 minutes until browned.

  5. Add aromatics: Add garlic, ginger, and red pepper flakes to the beef. Stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.

  6. Combine and sauce it up: Return green beans to the pan. Pour in the sauce and stir to coat everything. Cook 1–2 minutes until sauce thickens.

  7. Serve: Spoon stir-fry over rice and top with green onions or sesame seeds if desired.

 

Notes

  • Add bell peppers or snap peas for extra veggies.

  • Use chili garlic sauce or sriracha for a spicier kick.

  • Beef can be swapped with chicken or tofu.
