Instructions

Step 1: Toss 8 oz thinly sliced flank steak with 1 tsp cornstarch and 1/4 tsp black pepper in a bowl. Set aside.
Step 2: Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a large wok or skillet over high heat until shimmering. Add the beef in a single layer and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until browned but not fully cooked. Remove beef from the wok and set aside.
Step 3: In the same wok, add 4 cloves minced garlic and 1 tbsp minced fresh ginger, stir-frying for 30 seconds until fragrant but not burned.
Step 4: Add 2 cups halved baby bok choy and stir-fry for 2 minutes until bright green and slightly tender.
Step 5: Return the beef to the wok. Mix 3 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp oyster sauce, 1 tsp brown sugar, and 2 tbsp water in a small bowl and pour over the beef and bok choy. Stir-fry everything together for 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats the ingredients. Serve hot over steamed rice.
