Marinade:
- 10 g Ginger sliced
- 10 g Green onion 1 small, roughly cut
- 1/8 tsp Salt 1g
- 1/4 tsp Sugar 1g
- 1/8 tsp Black pepper 0.5g
- 1/4 tsp tsp Baking soda 1.5 g
- 2 tsp Cornstarch 6g
- 2 tbsp Water
- 1 tbsp Neutral oil
Sauce
- 1/4 tsp Sugar 1g
- 1/8 tsp Black pepper 0.5g
- 1 tsp Cornstarch 3g
- 1 tsp Dark soy sauce
- 1.5 tbsp Oyster sauce
- 3 tbsp Water
- Salt to taste optional
Instructions
Prepare the Beef:
- Slice the beef against the grain into thin pieces.
- In a bowl, mix the marinade ingredients: ginger, green onion, salt, sugar, black pepper, baking soda, and water. Press the mixture to release the juice from the ginger and green onion.
- Pour the marinade over the beef in three batches, massaging it in after each batch to ensure the beef absorbs the liquid.
- Mix in the cornstarch, then seal with oil to lock in the moisture. Let it marinate for 5 minutes.
Prepare the Sauce:
- In a small bowl, mix the sauce ingredients: sugar, black pepper, cornstarch, dark soy sauce, oyster sauce, and water. Set aside.
Cook the Beef:
- Heat 2 tbsp of oil in a wok or skillet over high heat.
- Stir-fry the marinated beef until it just changes color. Remove from the pan and set aside.
Stir-fry the Vegetables:
- Leave the excess oil in the pan, and stir-fry the ginger, garlic, and green onion until fragrant.
- Add the bell pepper and cook for about 30 seconds until slightly tender. (Blanch the veggies first if they take longer to cook.)
Combine and Finish:
- Add the beef back into the pan with the vegetables. Stir everything together.
- Stir the sauce to ensure it's well-mixed. Pour it into the pan and mix everything together. Cook for another minute until the sauce thickens and evenly coats the beef and vegetables.
- Serve hot with steamed rice. Enjoy!
