Instructions

Step 1: Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a large wok over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add 3 minced garlic cloves and 1 tbsp minced fresh ginger, stir-frying for 30 seconds until fragrant but not browned.
Step 2: Add 1 lb thinly sliced beef sirloin to the wok, spreading it out in a single layer. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until the beef starts to brown and is nearly cooked through.
Step 3: Pour in 3 tbsp soy sauce, 2 tbsp oyster sauce, and 1 tsp brown sugar. Stir continuously for 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly and coats the beef evenly.
Step 4: Remove from heat, stir in 2 chopped scallions, and serve immediately with steamed rice or noodles.
