Ingredients
 
 

Beef + Marinade

  • 1.1 pounds steak flank steak, skirt steak, sirloin or rump steak
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1 tsp vegetable oil
  • ¼ tsp sambal oelek more to taste
  • 1 tsp low sodium soy sauce

To Stir-Fry

  • 10 scallions
  • 4 garlic cloves minced
  • 1 tbsp grated ginger
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil divided

  • 1 tbsp toasted sesame oil
  • ¼ tsp white pepper
  • 1 tsp sambal oelek more or less to taste
  • 1 tbsp oyster sauce
  • 3 tbsp low sodium soy sauce

  • ¼ cup water
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch

Instructions
 

  • Cut the steak in really thin slices across the grain. Combine with soy sauce, oil, sambal oelek, and cornstarch. Set aside.
  • In the meantime, mince the garlic and grate the ginger. Thinly chop the white part of scallions and slice the green part into 2-inch/5 cm pieces.
  • Prepare the sauce by combining the ingredients in a small bowl.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a wok over high heat until smoking-hot and oil is shimmering. Add the beef, spread in a single layer, sear undisturbed for 30 seconds. Turn, and stir-fry for 30 seconds more, until the beef is slightly browned but not cooked through. Transfer the beef to a clean bowl.
  • Add 1 tablespoon oil, then garlic, ginger and white scallion parts. Cook for 30 seconds. Stir in green scallion parts, then return beef to the wok and stir-fry for 30 seconds.
  • Add the prepared sauce, stir-fry for 1 minute. Turn off the heat, and serve!
