Glossy Wok-Seared Beef with Vibrant Greens in Sesame Ginger Glaze

Ingredients:

500 g beef sirloin or flank steak, thinly sliced against the grain

2 tablespoons neutral oil (vegetable or peanut)

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon fresh ginger, finely grated

2 cups bok choy, chopped

2 cups baby spinach

1 cup snow peas, trimmed

1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced

3 scallions, sliced

1 teaspoon chili flakes (optional)

2 tablespoons soy sauce

1 tablespoon oyster sauce

1 tablespoon sesame oil

1 tablespoon honey

1 tablespoon rice vinegar

1 teaspoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons water

Toasted sesame seeds, for garnish

Directions:

Heat a wok or large skillet over high heat until very hot. Add 1 tablespoon oil and swirl to coat.

Add the sliced beef in a single layer and sear for 1–2 minutes per side until browned but still tender. Remove from the wok and set aside.

Add the remaining oil to the wok. Stir in garlic and ginger, cooking for 20–30 seconds until fragrant.

Add bok choy, snow peas, and red bell pepper. Stir-fry for 2–3 minutes until vibrant and slightly tender.

Toss in baby spinach and scallions, cooking just until wilted.

Return the beef to the wok. Add soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, honey, and rice vinegar.

Stir in the cornstarch slurry and cook for 1–2 minutes until the sauce becomes glossy and coats everything evenly.

Sprinkle with chili flakes if using, remove from heat, and finish with toasted sesame seeds. Serve hot over jasmine rice or noodles.
