Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a medium bowl, toss 12 oz thinly sliced Irish beef sirloin with 1 tsp cornstarch and 3 tbsp soy sauce, coating evenly. Set aside for 10 minutes.
  2. Step 2: Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add 4 minced garlic cloves and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant but not browned.
  3. Step 3: Add the marinated beef strips to the skillet in a single layer and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until the beef is browned and cooked through.
  4. Step 4: Stir in 3 sliced spring onions and 1/2 tsp black pepper, cooking for another 1 minute until the onions are slightly softened.
  5. Step 5: Mix 2 tbsp water with remaining soy sauce from the marinade in a small bowl and pour into the skillet, stirring for 1 minute until the sauce thickens and coats the beef.
  6. Step 6: Remove from heat and drizzle 1 tsp sesame oil over the dish for aroma before serving.
