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 and 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 mixing bowl, combine thinly sliced ribeye steak with baking soda, cornstarch, and soy sauce. Mix well to coat the beef evenly and set aside to marinate for a few minutes, allowing the baking soda to tenderize the meat.
- 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 blended to create a flavorful stir-fry sauce.
- Stir-Fry Beef: Heat olive oil in a large skillet or wok over high heat. Add the marinated beef in a single layer, allowing it to sear undisturbed for 2 minutes to develop a nice crust. Then stir-fry the beef until it is browned and nearly cooked through.
- Add Aromatics: Add minced garlic, sliced onion, and julienned ginger to the skillet. Stir-fry everything together for about 1 minute until the aromas develop and the onions soften slightly.
- Cook Mushrooms: Stir in the quartered mushrooms and continue stir-frying until the mushrooms start to soften, about 2-3 minutes.
- Combine and Finish: Pour the prepared stir-fry sauce over the beef and vegetables. Stir well and cook until the sauce thickens slightly and coats all ingredients evenly, about 1-2 minutes.
- Garnish and Serve: Remove from heat and garnish with sliced green onions. Serve immediately over steamed rice or noodles for a complete meal.
Notes
- Thinly slicing the beef against the grain helps ensure tenderness.
- Marinating the beef with baking soda helps to tenderize it quickly.
- Adjust soy sauce and oyster sauce quantity to control saltiness to taste.
- Use a high heat to quickly sear and cook the beef without overcooking.
- Serve with steamed rice or your favorite noodles for a balanced dish.
