Scallion beef, a beloved stir-fry dish, is prized for its tender beef, vibrant scallions, and savory sauce. Here’s a step-by-step guide to mastering this flavor-packed meal.
Ingredients: 300g thinly sliced beef (sirloin or flank), 6-8 scallions (cut into 2-inch segments), 3 tbsp cooking oil, 1 tbsp minced garlic, 1 tbsp grated ginger. For the sauce: 2 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp oyster sauce, 1 tsp sugar, 1 tsp sesame oil, 1 tbsp cornstarch (mixed with 2 tbsp water).
Steps:
1. Marinate the beef: In a bowl, combine beef with 1 tbsp soy sauce, ½ tsp cornstarch, and 1 tsp oil. Let it sit for 15 minutes to tenderize.
2. Prep the sauce: Mix all sauce ingredients in a small bowl; set aside.
3. Stir-fry: Heat oil in a wok over high heat. Add beef and stir-fry for 1-2 minutes until browned. Remove and set aside.
4. Cook scallions: In the same wok, sauté garlic and ginger until fragrant (30 seconds). Add scallions and stir-fry for 1 minute until slightly softened.
5. Combine: Return beef to the wok. Pour the sauce over and toss quickly for 1-2 minutes until everything is coated and glossy.
Serve: Hot with steamed rice or noodles. For extra flair, garnish with sesame seeds or chili flakes. This dish balances umami, sweetness, and freshness—perfect for a quick, satisfying meal!
