Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Thinly slice the beef and set aside.
- Julienne the red pepper.
- Trim the green beans.
- Thinly slice the shallots.
- Mince the garlic cloves.
- Mince the ginger root.
- Cut the scallions into 1-inch pieces.
- Heat 1 ½ tablespoons of olive oil in a large wok or frying pan over medium-high heat.
- Once the oil is hot, add the sliced beef and stir fry until browned and cooked through, about 3-4 minutes.
- Remove the beef from the pan and set aside.
- Add the remaining 1 ½ tablespoons of olive oil to the pan.
- Add the shallots, garlic, and ginger. Stir fry for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
- Add the red pepper and green beans. Stir fry for another 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender but still crisp.
- Return the cooked beef to the pan.
- Add the mirin, soy sauce, water, and oyster sauce. Stir to combine and coat the beef and vegetables evenly. Cook for another 1-2 minutes.
- Stir in the scallions and cook for an additional 1 minute.
- Drizzle the sesame oil over the top and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
- Transfer the stir fry to a serving dish and enjoy it hot. Serve with steamed rice or noodles, if desired.
Tips:
- Make sure to slice the beef thinly against the grain for a more tender texture.
- Have all ingredients prepped and ready to go before you start cooking, as stir-frying happens quickly and you don't want to overcook any components.
- Cook the beef in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the pan, which can steam the meat instead of searing it.
- Use high heat and keep the ingredients moving in the pan to achieve that perfect stir-fry texture.
- Feel free to adjust the amount of ginger and garlic to suit your personal taste.
This stir-fry beef with ginger and garlic is a quick, easy, and incredibly flavorful meal that’s perfect for any night of the week.
