Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a bowl, combine 12 oz thinly sliced beef sirloin with 3 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp rice wine, 1 tsp cornstarch, and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Mix thoroughly and let marinate for 15 minutes.
  2. Step 2: Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a wok or large skillet over 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 to the wok in a single layer and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until the edges begin to brown and the beef is nearly cooked through.
  4. Step 4: Toss in 4 sliced scallion stalks (cut into 2-inch pieces) and 1 tsp sugar. Continue stir-frying for another 1-2 minutes until the scallions soften slightly but remain vibrant.
  5. Step 5: Drizzle 1 tsp sesame oil over the beef and scallions, toss well to combine, then remove from heat and serve immediately.
