Ingredients
Scale
Beef Marinade
- 1 large ribeye steak, thinly sliced
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
Stir-Fry Sauce
- 3 tablespoons oyster sauce
- 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon dark soy sauce
- 2 teaspoons sugar
- 2 teaspoons rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
Vegetables & Aromatics
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 large onion, sliced
- 2-inch piece of ginger, julienned
- 8 ounces mushrooms, quartered
- 3 green onions, sliced (for garnish)
Instructions
- Prepare Beef: In a bowl, combine thinly sliced ribeye steak with baking soda, cornstarch, and soy sauce. Mix well and set aside to marinate briefly while preparing the sauce.
- Make Sauce: In a separate bowl, whisk together oyster sauce, low-sodium soy sauce, dark soy sauce, sugar, rice vinegar, and sesame oil until fully combined to create the stir-fry sauce.
- Heat Pan and Sear Beef: Heat olive oil in a large skillet or wok over high heat. Add the marinated beef, spreading it out in a single layer. Let it sear without stirring for 2 minutes to develop a nice crust.
- Stir-Fry Beef and Aromatics: After searing, stir-fry the beef until browned on all sides. Add minced garlic, sliced onion, and julienned ginger to the pan, cooking for about 1 minute until aromatic.
- Add Mushrooms: Stir in quartered mushrooms and cook until they are slightly softened, roughly 2 to 3 minutes.
- Combine Sauce and Finish Cooking: Pour the prepared stir-fry sauce over the beef and vegetables. Stir everything together and cook until the sauce thickens slightly and coats all the ingredients evenly, about 1 to 2 minutes.
- Garnish and Serve: Remove from heat and garnish with sliced green onions. Serve immediately warm with steamed rice or noodles for a complete meal.
Notes
- For extra heat, add a pinch of red chili flakes or sliced fresh chili when stir-frying.
- Use ribeye steak for tenderness; you can substitute with sirloin or flank steak sliced thinly.
- Marinating with baking soda helps tenderize the beef quickly.
- Be careful not to overcrowd the pan to ensure proper searing.
- If you prefer, substitute olive oil with sesame oil for a stronger nutty flavor, but use less as it has a lower smoke point.
